Turn from your rage

Brewing, stewing and spewing are all bad options when it comes to dealing with anger.
Each is the wrong way to handle it. God says to stop it
There are few things we can do to diffuse and defeat the controlling power of anger

We need to break its grip on our life
Father
Remove our resentment and set us free from frustration. May Your goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our life that we may dwell in the house of the
Lord forever. Father bring peace to our minds and our hearts as we feel angry at the situation we are in. Father we know from Your Holy Word that anger can well up inside us and turn our thoughts from You and channel them into destructive evil notions that lead us astray. We are
often brimming over with emotion. From happiness and surprise to anger, fear, and disgust, our feelings are natural and by design. Some of these feelings are glorious and blissful, but others left unchecked can steer us away from You and all the good You intend. Sometimes they
fester so long and so deep they begin to rot inside of us. Help us Father to remember Your instructions throughout Scripture about anger. Help us to honor Your words to the Apostle Paul Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.Father help us get rid of all
bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Father help us to stamp out anger before it becomes a fiery flare and help us choose to remain calm and talk things out in love with the spirit of correction and accountability rather than
fighting. Instead of resentment and bitterness let seeds of love and reconciliation grow in our hearts seeds that point to You and Your way, not our own. We come humbly before you in the name of Jesus Christ. Father hear our prayer.
Amen.
Amen.
