A Gentle Answer
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
Therefore, I say to you, don’t worry about your life, what you’ll eat or what you’ll drink, or about your body, what you’ll wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothes?—Matthew 6:25 (CEB)
Are you a chronic worrier? Do you agonize over big things and little things no matter how hard you try? If so, take Jesus’ words to heart. He tells you not to worry. Worry is a choice you have power over. Instead of feeding your anxiety, focus your trust on Him.
Dear God, I give You my worries so that You may give me Your peace.
