Anger is an intense emotion that often masks hurt, injustice, or disappointment. Paul does not say we will never feel anger, but warns us not to let anger simmer into bitterness. When we sleep on unchecked resentment, we hand the enemy an invitation to poison our relationships and steal our peace.
Father, my blood is hot and my mind is tempted to say things that tear down. Please put a guard over my mouth right now. Cool the fire of this anger before it destroys what I love. Help me release the need to avenge myself, and give me the grace to respond with calm wisdom. Amen.
