PRAY FOR OURSELVES BEFORE WE PRAY FOR ANYTHING ELSE

Never go to the alter when you're angry or bitter because our prayers reflect our emotions, and that may not sit well with God.

First, ask God to search our hearts and minds and remove all that is not of Him.

Father, You understand the anger. We believe You want us to be angry about evil, injustice, and sin but not sin because we are angry. Like You, may we let love override our anger? Please forgive us for the times we have hurt others with angry words or actions. By the power of Your Spirit, grant us the gift of kindness and gentleness that we might come to You in prayer when we are angry, asking for Your guidance to address the issue without adding to the problem with our emotions, In Jesus' name, Amen.
