We each participate in challenging conversations. We don’t welcome these conversations, and in most cases wish they didn’t have to occur. Yet, boundaries must be established; issues must be addressed; troubles must be faced. When facing challenges we are well-advised to bathe the situation in prayer. Scripture teaches us to “Rejoice always; pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances” (I Thessalonians 5:16-18). We are better off waiting until we have cooled off, considered the situation, and perhaps even sought counsel from trusted friends.
