Titus 3
Being gentle requires me to be pure (not harsh) of heart and in actions. I must have patience, compassion, etc. and also to be quick to listen and slow to anger. I often struggle with these things. I often struggle with rulers and authorities in my life - work as an example. I need help in all of these areas.
See also James 1, 1 Timothy 2, Romans 13, Hebrews 13, 1 Timothy 6.
My Prayer: Lord You are an awesome God full of patience and gentleness for me, even though many times I am not worth such patience or gentleness. You pour out Your mercy on me even though I am not deserving - thank You Jesus. I need You desperately in my life as I am broken and sinful. Very often I am not gentle nor patient. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Help me invite more of You into my heart and all areas of my life. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength, comfort, and freedom from pain. Please heal and cure her of this cancer. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. v1-2
