A
PRAYER FOR DEALING WITH ANGER
Gracious God, sometimes anger seems so near to the
surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt,
a disappointment I had not expected, can make my emotions swirl with the
force of a small cyclone. Sometimes, my heart feels hot, my nerves feel
edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent,
go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the
throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go, would render
the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will
burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence.
Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the
first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.
