Losing my cool because of a senseless remark, ruined my special time with God yesterday. A troubled and agitated heart is not worthy of His loving presence, so I kept away.

Hold down your temper, strive to be always cool and collected because you will lose your perspective if you are consumed with anger. Don't let the small things bother you from achieving the greater task.
Temper and confrontation always result in speaking words and doing things that you will regret later and a ruined relationship. Be careful with your tongue, it can lash out like a whip to an emotional soul, for after your quarrel the words will continue to be heard in their minds, replayed several times and it will make them cry silently.
Be gentle always with your words, control your tongue with the strictest discipline, for it is easy to blurt out words of hurt than retrieve the hurt that you've caused. Temper should be controlled and kept in a tight rein, for it is when you've lost your temper that the tongue gets wayward.
