Day 80 - Dealing with Anger: Ask God for Help
You may feel helpless in the face of your anger. You cannot deal with it on your own. The most important step you can take is to ask God for help.
“God will give you the opportunity to be angry,” says Rev. Noel Castellanos. “He’s not going to take that freedom away from you, but when you’re done, behind all of that stuff you don’t understand, there’s a loving God who can redeem any situation. You can allow that deep anger in an authentic, honest way to be converted into a plea for help.”
Give your burden of anger to God, and He will give you rest.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
Lord Jesus, I give my anger and my struggles to You. I come to You to learn and to rest. Amen.
