A Prayer for Gentleness in Criticism by Christie Thomas

They trusted themselves to the one who judges justly. In today's episode by Christie Thomas, we're talking about what it looks like to respond to criticism, insults, and rejection with genuine gentleness — and why it might be the most powerful thing you can do. The ending of my phone call story might surprise you.

Reference: 1 Peter 2:21-23

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for suffering for me and leaving an example so I can follow in Your steps. Please help me to keep my retorts and insults to myself and reshape my mind so I can completely trust myself to You, who judges justly. In Jesus’s name, amen.
