When someone wounds us, letting it go means making a conscious decision not to demand payment, pray for that person and ask God to bless them. Wisdom leads the way in not taking offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTake no offense\u201d is my three-word prayer for when I feel the sting of someone else\u2019s actions. \u201cYou don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in their life. Hurting people hurt people.\u201d My inner dialogue to let go of offenses continues. Coaching myself helps me overlook offenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wisdom yields patience by helping us control our emotions and not responding immediately to the offense. Instead of striking back, wisdom takes the time to pray and seek Godly direction before responding. Including God in the conversation always leads to a different outcome than our fleshly desires. Lord\u2019s insight guides us to patient wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without offense, we can\u2019t practice God\u2019s grace. Doing something repeatedly helps us become better at it. As long as we live on Earth, we will encounter offenses, but we can choose how we respond. Let Godly wisdom lead the way.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive our rash responses. Help us overlook offenses with patient wisdom. Give us an extra measure of grace for those who cause us pain. Let us become more like Jesus as we practice responding like Him. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One minute read.
