1. Scenario: Someone talks behind your back. Wise response: “Let them. Truth has a way of outlasting rumors.” 2. Scenario: You fail at something you were sure you’d win. Wise response: “This loss isn’t the end—just proof that growth still has room.” 3. Scenario: A friend drifts away without explanation. Wise response: “Not everyone is meant to stay, but every presence leaves a lesson.”

Proverbs 14:2-3 2 Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly, but those who despise him are devious in their ways. 3 A fool’s mouth lashes out with pride, but the lips of the wise protect them.

Write down 3 common scenarios and a wise response for each Scenario #1 You go to the drive-thru, place an order, get your stuff to only realize that your order was wrong. Go back inside too let the person know that your order is wrong and instead of fixing the problem they're very rude at disrespectful. Solution.: Don't let the angry, hangriness n hungriness get the best out of you, request for a manager or get your money back and go to someplace else if u see the situation is getting hostile. Sometimes the level gets so bad that you might say things you might regret and your peace is definitely disrupted Scenario #2 You received a phone call and it's one of your Friends you haven't heard from in a long time. Instead of it being a conversation of catching up, you realize it's a conversation of them trying to get information out of you about someone., something or melee. Solution: Cut the conversation and let them know that you did not want to discuss the things that they're asking or talking about. If they get offended , they can say goodbye or change the conversation. Senerio #3 You're given an opportunity to get a raise and a new job title. You saw this as a great opportunity, but you realize it will compromise your faith n go against your religious beliefs. Solution: As hard as it may seem, the best thing to do is turn it down. You might need the money and the title might seem great, thank God first is a greater reward. Continue holding in the faith and trust in God that he will open more opportunities for you and sit back and watch you work in your favor for the sacrifice you made for Him
