Thank you, Lord, for those who listen to me. And thank you for the people who trust me enough to allow me to listen to them. Give me the courage to talk honestly. Give me the grace to listen well. In your anger, do not sin.
Anger is a normal human emotion.
It is an unavoidable ingredient of any fellowship. Unfortunately, for most of us, anger is a problem. We know that anger can lead to destructive behaviors. Some of us have been on the receiving end of verbal and physical attacks from an angry person. And some of us have lashed out at others with our anger.
