A Prayer Before an Important Conversation
Anxiety often rises before a difficult conversation because we cannot control how the other person will respond. This prayer asks for clarity, restraint, honesty, and peace before speaking.
God, I am anxious about the conversation ahead. Help me prepare without rehearsing every possible conflict. Give me clear words, a calm tone, and ears that are willing to listen. Keep me from defensiveness, exaggeration, or trying to control the other person's response. Let me speak what is true and necessary with respect. Whatever the outcome, help me keep my integrity.
Amen.
Scripture: James 1:19 Proverbs 15:1
