We don’t plan to be harsh. It usually happens when we’re tired, stressed, or already dealing with something heavy.
We mess up. We lose patience. We react badly. And yet, we are not pushed away.
Jesus stays close even when we fail more than once. He does not harden toward us.
Today, when someone gets on our nerves, we pause. We answer the way we wish we were treated when we fall short.
Based on the Word of Life, August 1988, by Chiara Lubich.
✝️ Prayer for Gentleness
God, You stay with us even when we fail again and again. Help us remember this when we feel irritated or worn out. Shape our reactions today. Teach us to respond with the same gentleness we receive. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
