Actually, for Christians, the BEST thing to do is to ask God for HIS guidance on how to handle each new situation.
After all, all of the *yuck* that is going on (and that will continue to grow) in this country right now was directly caused by our ignoring God and gradually pushing Him further and further away from our plans about how things ought to be done.
After kicking a hornets’ nest, yes, you might implore God as what to do next. But you had better be quick about it.
And in the meantime, protecting yourself from angry hornets is unlikely to offend Heaven.
If there is a good likelihood that you are going to be attacked for your faith, protect yourself first before requesting guidance.
