My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speakand slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19-20
So we are getting ready for the last leg of our trip from Boise back to Huntsville when from the flight deck it was announced the ground crew had noticed a low nose gear tire so it had to be changed. It would take about 20 minutes. Groans could be heard throughout the cabin. People get anxious and don't like waiting. But safety is first priority especially when flying at 35,000 feet.
What type of things do you get irritated about that you really have no control over? In every situation it is best to not overreact. Pause, take a breath, pray. Then relax and let God work. Getting mad only agitates others and does nothing to help.
The next time something unexpected occurs practice this formula and see if you don't handle things a bit better.

Things always work out in the end so sit back, pray, and let God work in the situation.
PRAYER: This is the day you have made Lord and I choose to rejoice and be glad in it no matter what happens. Help me slow down and learn to wait on you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
