When words hurt

Have you ever said anything to someone that you really never meant to say and wanted to take it back? The thing is about words is they leave a mark on you even if you say you take it back or apologize. I said some not so nice words to my daughter and I felt terrible about it all day. That was about a month ago when I was over stressed at work. Today I had some harsh words said to me and no reason for it other than the person saying it wants to make our lives miserable. When she left my office, I thought how rude and yet what can I do about it? So, when words hurt I just pray more and trust that God will take care of it.
