Let’s Pray…
Lord, give me the ability to be slow to anger. Take away anything in me that refuses to let go of anger over things that have happened. Help me to not get angry over what I think are injustices or personal affronts. Help me instead to quickly overlook the things that make me upset and release all my anger to You. Replace anger in me with Your love and patience. I don’t want anger in me to delay my wholeness and keep me from the destiny You have for me. Lord, help me to not carry anger in my heart over anything. When someone does something that is offensive to me, enable me to rise above any anger or hurt I may feel over it. Help me to let it go and forgive quickly so that I don’t give place to anger in my soul. Enable me to be patient with all people and situations so that I will reflect Your nature and not give place to my flesh. Thank You, Lord, that You give me strength to live through each day and face all that I must face. The greatest thing I face today is nothing in light of Your power to give me strength. Strengthen me by the power of Your Spirit to lay down any anger I may have about anything. Give me the ability to be patient with people and situations, and to trust You in the timing of all things. I pray that You will give me patience instead to do all You have called me to do. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
