Dear God,
Sometimes, when I'm cleaning up and putting everything in order, the kids (and even DH) are in the other room making an even bigger mess, and I want to scream. I sometimes do, Lord... I know You can see, and I know it makes You frown at me, because my reaction makes the situation even worse. DS and DD get worked up, and I get more upset and frustrated. Lord, please help me to be calm as I deal with domestic frustrations like so, and please help me to remember that a quiet, calming response will get better and greater results...
I should know from experience. When I make a mess of things and foul up with something, You speak gently through Your word and through the Holy Spirit. You know well that I would like that better than a screaming, shouting, belittling voice. Lord, please always remind me that my family would prefer that as well.
Proverbs 15:1
