1 Peter 3:4

A gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great value in the sight of God.
A man in a checked shirt praying in a church, hands clasped together.

Precious Savior, the world rewards the loud, the aggressive, and those who constantly promote themselves. My own ego wants to scream for attention and fight for its rights. But You tell me that a gentle and quiet spirit is what carries immense value in Your sight. Strip away my loud pride. Teach me how to walk softly, to listen closely to Your Spirit, and to respond to others with meekness rather than defense. Make my heart beautiful to You today. Amen.
