A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.—Proverbs 15:1 (NIV)
Don’t be so naive and self-confident. You’re not exempt. You could fall flat on your face as easily as anyone else. Forget about self-confidence. It’s useless. Cultivate God-confidence.—1 Corinthians 10:12 (MSG)

When you find yourself relying on yourself instead of Him, shift your focus and place your cares in His capable hands.
Lord Jesus, help me to believe and trust that You have everything under control.
