Christmas BreakSample

PRAY // You probably already know being humble, gentle, and patient with your family is hard. But have you ever noticed you can be less than gentle or patient with yourself, too? Sometimes we save our harshest words for the way we talk to ourselves when we mess up. This break, in addition to showing humility, patience, and gentleness toward others, try showing yourself the same grace. Show yourself some grace when you hear yourself railing on yourself in your mind—over how you look, over a frustration with friends, over a tough semester in a subject at school, or over repeated mistakes in an area. The truth is, God approaches you with gentleness and patience each and every day. Why not offer it to yourself? [Illustrations included in this devotional are not visible in this view.
