A Prayer for when Anger has You by the Throat

Once again, Lord Jesus Christ, I face the power of anger... When I am harmed by another,
or think myself to have been,
give me patience
to go to that person with a humble spirit,
seeking to be reconciled. When I am outraged by injustice,
show me clearly how I too must repent
of complicity in this world's broken systems,
and cover me in your mercy.

When I can neither rest nor work
because of the indignation that stirs my spirit,
teach me the power of forgiveness
and the freedom of love.

Deliver me from anger,
that I might not be consumed by its fire
but turn the great energy of my soul
toward a desire to serve you
and your little ones.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, thank you for saving us by your grace. I Love and Praise You Lord, In Thy Matchless, Holy, Sovereign and Blessed Name, Ahmayn !!! (It is HE who shall bring it to pass)
