Holly Furtick (YouTube) cites Proverbs 20:18—"Plans succeed through good counsel. Don't go to war without advice"—and teaches that before entering conflicts one should pause, seek counsel, and ask the Holy Spirit whether a fight is worth pursuing. She advises avoiding raising disagreements in the heat of the moment and using a brief moment of self-control and spiritual discernment to potentially avert unnecessary fights.

Chapters

Proverbs 20:18 says, Plans succeed through good counsel. Don't go to war without advice. So the question is, if I engage in this fight, what is going to happen? The time to bring up a disagreement or an offense is never in the heat of the moment if you can avoid it. It's not easy to hit pause, but we all have the Holy Spirit inside of us, and if you can gather your wits for just a split second and ask him, like the Proverb, go to war without advice, Ask the Holy Spirit, is this worth it? You might be able to avoid a fight.
