A Prayer to Practice Gentleness by Christie Thomas

My kids showed me something about myself in the back seat of the car — and it led me straight to Titus 3:1-2.Paul wrote to Christians living under Nero and still said: be gentle. Submit. Slander no one. If they could do it then, what's our excuse now?This week we're talking about how to engage with politics, authority, and people we deeply disagree with — in a way that actually looks like Jesus.

Reference: Titus 3:1-2

Prayer: God, I confess that I’ve fallen far short of the way You’ve asked me to live. Help me to submit to the rulers and authorities around me, to obey with humility, to be ready for every good work, to avoid slander and fighting, and to be kind and gentle. May I strive to do this through Your strength, which so powerfully works in me. In Jesus’s name, amen.

The religious leaders were ready to throw stones. Jesus bent down and wrote in the dirt. Jesus didn't have to be gentle. But He chose it.

A Prayer to Show Gentleness to Others by Christie Thomas

When they finally walked away, it was just Jesus and the woman — face dirty with dust and tears, waiting for the punishment she thought she deserved.

Instead, he said: "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."

And that gentleness? It changes people. Just like it changed her. This week, who in your life needs you to put down the stone and offer grace instead? 🕊️

Reference: John 2:15-17

Prayer: Jesus, forgive me for the times I’ve thought gentleness meant inaction as well as for the times I bulldozed my way through justice issues without being tempered by Your gentleness. Break my heart for the issues that break Your heart and help me to stand up for the vulnerable with the firm passion that You displayed on earth. In Jesus’s name, amen.

They trusted themselves to the one who judges justly. In today's episode by Christie Thomas, we're talking about what it looks like to respond to criticism, insults, and rejection with genuine gentleness — and why it might be the most powerful thing you can do. The ending of my phone call story might surprise you.

Reference: 1 Peter 2:21-23

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for suffering for me and leaving an example so I can follow in Your steps. Please help me to keep my retorts and insults to myself and reshape my mind so I can completely trust myself to You, who judges justly. In Jesus’s name, amen.

When my toddler was terrified by a stranger's dog at the park, I had to be forceful — and it made me think about Jesus flipping tables in the temple.

A Prayer to Understand how Power and Gentleness Relate by Christie ThomasHere's what we miss about that story: Jesus took time to weave the whip before he acted. That's not a man out of control. That's a man who prepared, prayed, and then used exactly as much force as the moment required — no more, no less.Gentleness doesn't mean sitting quietly while injustice happens. This week we're talking about what it looks like to stand up for the vulnerable the way Jesus did.
