James 1:19-20
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

This has been an angry week for me. And I hate that I allowed anger to get in the way. I allowed myself to become angry and I hurt several of my most precious loved ones. And once you say the words, you cannot take them back. Nor can you take back an action done in anger, such as yelling. I forget sometimes my three year old is a three year old. I expect way to much of her, my fault, not hers. My husband and parents the same thing, I try to manipulate their actions to conform to my way of thinking. Okay, I'm a control freak, and when things don't go like I want them to go I get angry. And more times than not, I instantly feel guilty when I react in anger. My Heavenly Father is having to work on me in this area a lot.

Thank you Dear Jesus for being patient with me. Teach me to be less angry and more observant to what is really going on around me. Help me to help others instead of trying to control them. Help me to listen to your word and instructions and then to apply it to my life. And finally please help me to speak good things only. Amen!
