Irritation rarely begins with the person standing in front of you.
It often begins with the worry sitting inside you.

Unspoken pressure turns small things into sharp things.
A misunderstood tone becomes an argument.

Proverbs says:

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down…”
Proverbs 12:25

When your heart carries weight, your words carry an edge.
Not because you’re unkind, but because you’re overwhelmed.

Worry does not stay in your mind.
It shows up at home and in your conversations long before you name it.

Peter writes:

“Cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
1 Peter 5:7

When the weight goes to Him, peace returns to you.
