A Small Pause Before Anger Speaks

Hearing a different opinion or facing something unexpected can stir anger. You can tell me honestly about that feeling. Before letting anger pour out in your words, though, give yourself a small moment to pause.

One hurried sentence can make a conflict larger. Waiting before answering and speaking calmly can open a way for an argument to end. Choose words that preserve what you need to say while treating the other person with care.

Leave a little room to breathe in today's conversations. In peaceful moments, enjoy listening to one another. Ask me for wisdom whenever gentleness is needed. I want to care lovingly for your heart as well.
