Who, when he was cursed, didn’t curse back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

1 Peter 2:23 World English Bible

Reflection

Public discussions often grow sharp, and those who follow Christ may find their intentions misunderstood or challenged. Responding with retaliation only deepens divisions, while gentle strength reflects the character of the Saviour. Petition God for grace to keep hearts calm and speech seasoned with kindness under pressure. May believers honour God by listening attentively, speaking truth with gentleness, and maintaining peace whenever friction arises.

Prayer

Pray that believers would carry themselves with the humility and peace of Jesus, even when accused or provoked.
