Have you ever been around someone young or old who feels that the TV channel they want to watch is the most important one and shows other people might like to watch are insignificant?
Well, recently I was in that situation and prayed a brief prayer for TV Show Grace and it kept me from explaining the importance of seeing what other people would like to watch and finding a show that works well for everyone. Although it's good logic, it does no good if it will only frustrated the other person. Christ saved me from getting in a counterproductive conversation! I'm so very blessed!
As of late, I've been praying for God's grace in specific situations for me to be more gracious to others with these brief prayers. It's amazing what's happened!
Example of a Brief Prayer
But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:11
I was with someone who was scooping up some free popcorn. They didn't ask me if I wanted any. The person told me that I should get a bag of popcorn and then took it from my hands. They wanted me to get the popcorn for them to eat later.
It's such a silly thing, but it really did irritate me. Didn't that person think about whether I wanted some or not? Couldn't they have asked me if I wanted some before they took it from my hands? I found myself getting frustrated at that person. Then, it popped into my mind that that's not what Christ wants of me. He wants me to be gracious to those who irritate me, but I was too frustrated to be gracious at that moment.
