Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who want to avoid being irritable. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Irritable and ill-tempered people are sometimes said to be “prickly.” There are those who are self-aware enough to recognize they are. Others are oblivious. Whatever the case, scripture is clear when Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (ESV):
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;”
Get rid of the bad temper, and don’t be cross. Rather, turn to The Cross. Realize Christ’s sacrifice is for you personally. Change. And be released from the bondage of irritability. God has a plan for you to be a blessing to others today and in the future. Be ready!
