Before a hard meeting

“Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”

James 1:19 · ESV

God, prepare my heart before I enter this conversation. Help me listen for what is true, not just what protects me. Give me words that are clear, calm, and honest. Keep defensiveness from leading me, and help me leave the meeting with the next right action instead of more confusion. Amen.

One step: Write your main point and one question you need answered.
