对今日诗句的想法
快速回应恼怒、威胁、侮辱或困难，对许多人来说意味着力量。然而在愤怒中仓促回答却是愚昧。这样的回答不但无法达到预期的效果，而且总是伴随着需要解决的麻烦。以忍耐应对沮丧、痛苦的境遇，展现了聪明，并且总是在长时间内更具果效。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Responding quickly to aggravation, threat, insult, or difficulty suggests strength to many folks today. However, responding hastily out of anger is foolish. A hasty, unfiltered response seldom produces the desired long-term effect. This kind of response nearly always compounds the problems that need to be addressed. Patiently dealing with frustrating and painful situations shows understanding and is nearly always more fruitful in the long run and can prevent the unnecessary loss of friendships, integrity, and respect.
我的祷告
天父啊，我祈求耐心与自制力。我知道这些优点是圣灵在我生命中所结果子之诸多品格中的一部分，所以我祈求圣灵更深刻地影响我的心灵与生命。愿你赐予我聪明与智慧，使我我能够在祷告并思考事件以及所涉及的人之前，谨守自己的口。奉主耶稣之名祈求，阿们！
My Prayer...
Father, I ask for patience and self-control. I know these virtues are part of the fruit of your Spirit's presence in my life, so I ask that the Holy Spirit have more impact on my heart and life. Please give me the understanding and wisdom to keep my mouth shut until I have had an opportunity to pray and think about the issues and people involved. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
