📖 Introduction
Welcome to this 3-day Bible study on the power of a quiet spirit in conflict. Conflict is an inevitable part of life, whether in relationships, the workplace, or within our own hearts. How we respond to conflict can either escalate tension or bring peace and resolution. Proverbs 15:1 teaches us this profound truth: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." This verse invites us to cultivate a quiet, gentle spirit that diffuses anger and promotes understanding.
In this study, you will be guided through God's wisdom on responding to conflict with calmness and grace. You will see how controlling our words and attitudes is not just a practical tool but a spiritual discipline empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Each day, we will explore key Scriptures that reveal the heart of God concerning our interactions with others and how He calls us to embody peace. You will also find reflections and journaling prompts designed to help you apply these lessons to your daily life. By the end of this journey, you'll understand how a quiet spirit can transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and reconciliation.
Let us begin with open hearts, ready to receive God's peace and wisdom to handle conflict in a way that honors Him.
