This repetition began to drive Zhang Jing crazy. She could feel her anger increasing, pushing her to escalate the conflict. However, instead of reacting out of her frustration, Zhang Jing exercised self-control:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\n<em>A peacemaking principle compelled me to consider:\u00a0<\/em>What does God want me to learn through this?<em>\u00a0So, in the middle of that conflict, I took a deep breath and calmed down. I stopped continuously criticizing her in my heart for repeating herself and instead listened, listened, and listened some more. Then, I asked her, \u201cIf this situation were to happen again, how would you like me to respond to you?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<span id=\"easy-footnote-1-46436\" class=\"easy-footnote-margin-adjust\"><\/span><span class=\"easy-footnote\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chinasource.org\/resource-library\/blog-entries\/transformative-relationships\/#easy-footnote-bottom-1-46436\" data-hasqtip=\"0\" aria-describedby=\"qtip-0\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a result of recognizing her emotions and exercising self-control by taking a deep breath, calming down, and reflecting on a peacemaking-focused question, Zhang Jing was able to engage in a positive way with her upset colleague.<\/p>\n<p>Zhang Jing then began praying weekly with this colleague, slowly becoming a better listener in the process: \u201cI learned to ask, \u2018In our interactions, have there been any times when what I have said has made you uncomfortable?\u2019 We would then talk about it.\u201d<span id=\"easy-footnote-2-46436\" class=\"easy-footnote-margin-adjust\"><\/span><span class=\"easy-footnote\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chinasource.org\/resource-library\/blog-entries\/transformative-relationships\/#easy-footnote-bottom-2-46436\" data-hasqtip=\"1\" aria-describedby=\"qtip-1\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<strong>Exercising self-control and listening closely<\/strong>\u00a0opened up their communication and increased trust.<\/p>\n<p>James 1:19-20 instructs us,\u00a0<strong>\u201c<\/strong>Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.\u201d God calls us to exercise self-control and listen well. And while challenging to live out, relating to others in this way is not impossible! Many of those I interviewed in China, like Zhang Jing, described this spiritual fruit growing in their lives and the difference it made relationally.<\/p>\n<p>Praying together in the moment is one way to exercise self-control when our emotions are about to lead us to respond in a way we\u2019ll regret. When his five-year-old daughter lied to him, Li Jun felt angry: \u201cLying is quite serious. In my heart I was praying about how to deal with this situation, so I immediately led her to pray together. Most importantly, the first purpose for praying was that I hoped I could calm down.\u201d<span id=\"easy-footnote-3-46436\" class=\"easy-footnote-margin-adjust\"><\/span><span class=\"easy-footnote\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chinasource.org\/resource-library\/blog-entries\/transformative-relationships\/#easy-footnote-bottom-3-46436\" data-hasqtip=\"2\" aria-describedby=\"qtip-2\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0In this way, Li Jun calmed down and was able to respond with appropriate disciplinary action rather than lashing out in anger.<\/p>\n<p>Pausing to compose your emotions and examine yourself in the moment before speaking is another aspect of exercising self-control. Li Ailing, an older Christian with a non-Christian husband, tells of how she learned to follow the James 1:19-20 principles of being quick to listen and slow to speak:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\n<em>I often cared for my husband because he was sick, but he was not satisfied with the way I cooked. When my husband would find fault with me and say critically, \u201cYou\u2019ve used too much oil,\u201d or \u201cThe fire is too high,\u201d I would flare up angrily. I used to express my unhappiness by grimacing and ignoring him. I knew that if I argued with him, he would be in even more pain and then I would feel bad for arguing with him and negatively influencing his return to health.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Now, after this peacemaking study, even though I still flare up, I take a moment to control my emotions and examine myself before speaking.<\/em><span id=\"easy-footnote-4-46436\" class=\"easy-footnote-margin-adjust\"><\/span><span class=\"easy-footnote\"><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chinasource.org\/resource-library\/blog-entries\/transformative-relationships\/#easy-footnote-bottom-4-46436\" data-hasqtip=\"3\" aria-describedby=\"qtip-3\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0From my perspective, I am painstakingly cooking for him and think that what I\u2019m doing is fine.
