Two verses stood out to me today.  The first, Proverbs 13:16a,  “Wise people think before they act…” reminds me to not react, but to think before I act.  Just like it is written in James1:19: “Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.”

And the second compels me to pray for those who still await the desires of their heart. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12
