Anger UNDER CONTROL “ ‘The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.’ ” nUmbers 14:18
Hurt that overwhelms makes it easy for us to be angry in
everything, Lord. We have less patience with others, situations become stressful, and it’s hard to keep life under control. Thank You for reminding me of Your own nature, which forgave me for so much. Since You want me to become just like You, You call me not to accept quick anger but to avoid all wrongdoing that deserves punishment. I know I can’t do this on my own, so forgive me and fill me with Your Spirit, Lord. I need patience and love in this time of trouble.
