Stay away from the nonsense

"But refuse (shut your mind against, having nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels." II Timothy 2:23 AMPC

Set yourself apart from strife, quarrels, bickering, and controversies - be a vessel that God can use to change such nonsense, and an example that man can use to change the course of their lives.

Pray without anger, quarreling, resentment, or doubt

“… that in every place men should pray without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their midst], lifting up holy hands.” 1 Timothy 2:8 AMPC

How do you keep anger, quarreling, resentment, and doubt out of your life, out of your thoughts, out of your prayers?  By not letting them in from the get go.  The moment any or all of those emotions begin to entice your mind, flood them out with prayer and thanksgiving – hand them over to Jesus.  Not only will He ease your mind, but He will turn those dark thoughts into thoughts of love, mercy, compassion, and joy.
