Anger

“Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.”
James 1:19–20

Reflection

Anger can carry information about a wound, boundary, injustice, or fear. It becomes dangerous when it moves from messenger to master.

Pray

God, let anger become information rather than my master. Show me what lies beneath it, then teach me to respond with clarity and proportion.

Amen.

Declare

I can feel anger without surrendering my conduct to it.
