A soft
answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. (KJV)
Proverbs. 15:1
Aways Pray
for God’s help to rid your heart of hurtful feelings. Let God’s spirit
transform your mind and heart to conform to his will. All you need to do is to
take practical steps. If you find yourself in a tense situation and you sense
anger building inside you, it may help to leave the scene, thus always giving
your emotions time to settle. (Prov. 17:14)
If the one with whom you are
speaking starts to get angry, make an extra effort
to speak graciously. Making an aggressive remark would add fuel to the fire
even if it is delivered in a gentle voice. So when a situation tries your
self-control, be “slow about speaking, slow about wrath.” Pray for God’s spirit
to help you to say good things, not bad.
