Take a short prayer break right at your computer. Spend some quiet time reflecting on a Scripture passage. Knowing that not everyone prays at the same pace, you have control over the pace of the retreat.
This world is becoming a firey mess because the world is turning against jesus christ the son of the father who created it all!!!!!!
"I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26
By Andrew. Outside the Scottish Parliament Buildings in Edinburgh, UK.
I am assuming this is written in Scots . The Parliament tour guide told us that the Scottish Parliament recognises only English and Gaelic as official languages, however the EU recognises English, Gaelic and Scots for Scotland. How confusing! So is this a language or dialect of Britian? Also according to Wikipedia, there is a thing called Scottish English, for example "Wee" for "Small".
The text is actually on the floor, behind a hugh set of locked gates and I had to sneak the picture through the staff entrance - sideways. So it is heavily photoshopped to make it readable!

It's hard to respond with grace or to respond in prayer when someone has hurt us. This may be the understatement of the year! 😀 LOL!

It's also hard to not hold onto the hurtful words spoken because as I've said before, the old saying, "Stick and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me", while we can understand the sentiment behind it, it's really not the reality of life!
Why? Because while bones heal relatively quickly, it's the words spoken that tend to dwell in our hearts and minds for a long time!

If we're honest, we all say and do dumb things when we're angry or hurt. We need The Lord's help to heal our hearts, minds, and to help us become more grace filled in our responses.
_
We also need His help through His Holy Spirit to season our responses to other people when we've been wronged by them.
_
Furthermore, we need to make sure we don't let the circumstances of life change who God is shaping us into. We are The Lord's, we're a product of His grace, and not merely a product of the circumstances, including the mistreatment, of life.
_
Ultimately, how we respond is up to us and in the process we need God's help in responding as well as healing us from the flaming arrows that are hurled at us and leave scars along the way...scars that God can and will heal us from. I pray that we grow through these tough experiences and that they help us become better, more mature instead of bitter, ineffective, and crippled by these things.

Read James 1:19, Colossians 4:6, Ephesians 6:18, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 for encouragement from God's Word.
