ANGER
ANGER
Keep evil thoughts away
Holy Spirit, keep evil thoughts far from me. Help me not to think, speak, or do evil against the people around me. Help me to be loving and kind toward everyone, that I may follow my Savior's example. Amen.
Repair what I've ruined
Dear heavenly Father, the good that I want to do is seldom accomplished. Today is not any different—I have let my anger get the best of me. Without your only Son, my Savior, I would be lost. Repair what I've ruined. Heal the hurts I've caused and heal my heart by cleansing it with Jesus' blood. Assure me that I am forgiven and that you have not abandoned me. With my heart resting on you, give me peace. In Jesus' name.
Soothe my soul
Gracious God of my salvation, I get so angry every day that it wears me out. My body and soul both need rest. I ask you to forgive my inconsiderate acts. Let the forgiveness Jesus earned soothe my soul. In perfect peace I am calm, knowing that you love me for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
Dedicate my actions to you
Faithful Jesus, you have blessed me with another day. I end up focusing on the troubles and struggles of my day—that can get me a little bit cranky. Help me turn my focus to you and the undeserved love you have shown me, so that I can dedicate my actions to you. Strengthen my faith, so I may meet you face to face in heaven. Amen.
Help my attitude
Heavenly Father, as I meet other people today help me treat them with love and kindness. Help me try to understand them instead of getting frustrated and angry. Let me be ready to forgive their sins, eager to help them, and bold to confess my Savior to them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
