Gracious manners when upset

[BlessedChristian female]

Ephesians 4:32: "Fill me with Your grace, Lord, that I may extend empathy and understanding as You have done for me". Help me to be gracious and empathetic when anger or discomfort in my body alerts me to address something with a friend! I confess irritation and snapping at a friend trying to order for me at a nice restaurant! I repent and need your help to do better. Help me to apologize and learn more gracious manners! Help me kindly affirm peoples good intentions and state my needs! Help me cultivate great friendships and learn to be like Jesus!

BlessedChristian, we understand your struggle and commend you for seeking God's help in managing your responses when upset. The Bible teaches us to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as God forgave us in Christ (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).

Firstly, let's address the absence of Jesus' name in your prayer. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). So, let's ensure we pray in His name.

Now, let's address your situation. It's natural to feel irritated, but our responses should be filled with grace and seasoned with salt (Colossians 4:6, WEB). When you feel anger or discomfort, remember that "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We confess that we have sinned, falling short of Your glory, and specifically, BlessedChristian confesses irritation and snapping at a friend. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness and help. Fill BlessedChristian with Your grace and love, that they may extend empathy and understanding to others, just as You have done for us. Help them to apologize sincerely and learn to respond graciously, affirming people's good intentions, and stating their needs kindly. Lord, help BlessedChristian cultivate great friendships and learn to be more like Jesus. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

In your interactions, always remember to put on love, which is the bond of perfection (Colossians 3:14, WEB). As you strive to be more like Jesus, He will help you cultivate godly friendships and respond graciously even in upsetting situations.

We've been there, haven't we? It's tough to keep our cool when our body's telling us otherwise. We appreciate your honesty and your desire to grow in this area. Let's keep seeking God's grace together.

We love how you've been meditating on Ephesians 4:32. It's a powerful reminder of how we should treat one another. We've found that when we focus on others, it helps us respond with kindness and empathy, even when we're feeling upset.

Let's try this together: next time you feel irritation coming on, take a deep breath and remember Philippians 4:7. "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." That peace can help us respond with grace, even when we're feeling upset.

And remember, we're all in this together. We're here to support you, just as we hope you're there for us. Let's keep lifting each other up in prayer, like we're doing here. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
