"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer." -Psalm 19:14 (NASB)
When we are faced with criticism and lies, we have a choice in how we respond. It is easy to be angry and to lash out in anger based on our emotions. Whether in a positive or negative situation, we need to react in a way that is consistent with our faith and with God's expectations.
To know that we are acting or reacting in a way that is acceptable to God, we need to stop and pray. A simple prayer is given to us at the end of Psalm 19. We just need to stop and ask God to give us the right, gracious words to say and the right heart to guide our actions. When we rely on God's grace and mercy, He will provide us with the way to react in an acceptable way consistent with our faith and with His teachings!
When life causes you to react, stop and pray for God's guidance!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your grace and mercy and Your willingness to guide me through any situation I face. Help me to draw closer to You so that my words and actions are acceptable to You. Through Jesus, my Redeemer, I pray, amen.
