DAY 9 OF 21 · Wisdom for daily life
Answer Anger Gently
Gentleness can interrupt the escalation that anger seeks.
PRIMARY PASSAGE
Proverbs 15:1–4
Read this passage slowly in your Bible before continuing. My Daily Altar uses the King James Version for its English Scripture experience.
BIBLICAL CONTEXT
Listen to the passage on its own terms.
A soft answer is not weakness or avoidance. It is strength governed by wisdom, refusing to surrender tone and conduct to another person’s heat.
Reflect
What situation most tempts me to mirror someone else’s anger?
Respond
Prepare one calm, truthful sentence before the next conversation.
Pray
Lord, rule my spirit and give me words that turn away wrath without abandoning truth.
