A Prayer to Practice Gentleness by Christie Thomas

My kids showed me something about myself in the back seat of the car — and it led me straight to Titus 3:1-2.Paul wrote to Christians living under Nero and still said: be gentle. Submit. Slander no one. If they could do it then, what's our excuse now?This week we're talking about how to engage with politics, authority, and people we deeply disagree with — in a way that actually looks like Jesus.

Reference: Titus 3:1-2

Prayer: God, I confess that I’ve fallen far short of the way You’ve asked me to live. Help me to submit to the rulers and authorities around me, to obey with humility, to be ready for every good work, to avoid slander and fighting, and to be kind and gentle. May I strive to do this through Your strength, which so powerfully works in me. In Jesus’s name, amen.
