Many times when I am faced with challenging situations at work, in family, in ministry in life in general there is always this tendency to respond immediately.
However, when I just think and pray it through instead of saying or typing the first things that come to mind the outcome tends to be more favorable. I've found the practice of simply waiting a few hours or possibly a day or two before responding to be very helpful because it changes my heart and mind about the situation and the people involved.
So just wait, get ready to receive some Grace and don't forget your cup of Coffee.
