Lord, you know my anxiety and distress of lately. I’m trying to hold it all together and I’m coming up short. I feel a wound. My intentions were to hide my stress from my staff, but instead today I snapped. I said something insensitive to someone who was just asking a question. My response was not thought out or thoughtful. I missed something very important in her request. I wasn’t thinking about what it meant to her. She ended up in a tearful state. I apologized. I pray she believes and accepts my apology. I pray somehow she understands that it came from the stress I feel. And not from a hateful or mean place. That wasn’t my intention. And I pray for relief in feeling so overwhelmed. My work and personal life are at odds with each other. I’m really struggling. Today it showed. Praying for the constant consciousness of how words and tone affect others. To do better now and in the future. Self control. In Jesus name I pray. Help me. Amen.
