“The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.” Proverbs 19:11 (KJV)
As children of God, we are called to walk in wisdom, patience, and forgiveness. Proverbs 19:11 teaches us that it is a mark of wisdom to control our anger and not react hastily when others offend us. Not every offence deserves a response, and not every disagreement needs to become an argument.
When we choose patience over anger and forgiveness over bitterness, we demonstrate the character of Christ. Through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome the desire to retaliate, maintain peace in our relationships, and honour God in our daily lives. Let us ask God for the grace to be slow to anger, quick to forgive, and wise in our responses, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
- O Lord, help me to control my emotions and my tongue. Deliver me from speaking harsh words or making decisions in anger in Jesus’ name
- Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, grant me the grace to be patient in every situation
- O Lord, fill me with divine wisdom to handle difficult people and challenging situations in Jesus name
- Help me to know when to speak, when to remain silent, and how to respond in a way that promotes peace
- Heavenly Father, transform my character and make me more like Jesus every day. Let patience, humility, mercy, and forgiveness be evident in my life
