Help Me Not Be Angry

 

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.James 1:19-20

Have you ever got so upset over someone or something you feel disconnected and agitated and you don’t like that feeling? I am ashamed to admit I have. Mostly it happens if you don’t stay focused on Jesus and loving others more than yourself.

If you have an issue with someone try praying for them. Let God handle it instead of you silently steaming or talking about it to others.

Anger only leads to bitterness and can cause health problems as well. If you find yourself thinking poorly of another stop and pray and turn to the book of John in the New Testament and just start reading it. Now go and bless someone.

PRAYER: Today I am grateful for your mercy and grace to me. Help me keep focused on things above. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
