"Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."
One second of anger could cause you a lifetime of grief. We all struggle with moments of rage when faced with annoyance or an overwhelming situation. But the good news is there are scriptures dealing with every part of our lives. So, rather than lashing out with harsh words and actions that only leave us feeling guilt and shame, we can stop and focus on Scripture for help. When we are angry, this is the time to practice what we have learned. When we study or focus on Scripture, the Holy Spirit intervenes in our situation and claims us.Father, help us speak softly and turn away wrath. Lord, let not harsh words stir up anger and help us focus on what we have learned". Lord, when our tempers are stirred up, let us turn to the Holy Spirits that clam our atmosphere. Father, fill our hearts and minds with Your peace, so we will be slow to anger. Lord, help us take hold of Your promise that You will not forsake us. Whatever circumstances we face that produce anger in our hearts, remind us that You have not left our side, and You never will. So, right now, Lord, we release all our anger into Your care. You know our concerns; give us Your wisdom and the knowledge of how to implement You in our hearts instead of anger. In Jesus' name Amen
Amen
