Surrender to Divine Timing
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.—Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)

A Gentle Answer
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
Next time you are tempted to speak harshly against another, stop for a moment. Is the problem as serious as you’re making it? Will your words improve the situation and lead to a solution, or only show your anger? Whatever you say, be compassionate and caring. Set your mind on mending the relationship.
Keep me, God, from stirring up anger. Help me to use words that comfort and heal.
