Morning Prayer – When People Say Insensitive Things
When people say insensitive things regarding your fertility issues, doesn’t it make you cringe? I’m sure inwardly we are saying, “They literally have no clue! They don’t get it!” Which for the most part is true. Yet what I’ve learned over the years is mostly people have good hearts and mean well, they just don’t know how to respond to an uncomfortable situation. This is where we need to rely on Christ and extend His grace, as He has extends His grace to us daily.
So instead of punching them in the face you can pray the prayer below and meditate on the scriptures. {smiles} I know it’s a guarantee to be of help to you!
Love y’all!

When People Say Insensitive Things
Heavenly Father, why do people say unkind things? I’ve been hurt by their words and insensitivity. Help me not to be offended, angry, or bitter because of what is said. Instead, help me to forgive. Help me to hold my tongue so I won’t lash out. Strengthen me in love so when I encounter insensitive words again I will not repay insult with insult but with blessing. Help others hear themselves and help me hear You.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
