Dear God, I pray that I will be able to control my anger in situations that cause me to become angry. Please help me to “be angry and not sin.” I don’t like being angry, but sometimes things happen that cause it to rise up inside of me. Help me to respond with wisdom and calmness or to keep quiet until my emotions are under better control. Please guide me and direct me in all things. Thank You for not taking out anger upon me when You are upset with me. Thank You for loving me in spite of my imperfections and shortcomings. Thank You for Your willingness to forgive. In Jesus name, amen.

Father, how grateful I am that You are patient, loving, kind, and forgiving toward me. You have many more reasons to be angry than I ever do, yet You always treat me with compassion. Please help me to be more like You in word, thought, and deed.

I confess my anger to You and ask You to cleanse my heart of any resentment and bitterness I feel. Please show me where this pain originates and remove it from my soul so that I will not sin against You. When I am angry, reveal constructive and loving ways for me to deal with my emotions, giving me the patience and wisdom to handle what is really going on within me, rather than simply lashing out.

Please teach me to be a person of peace and grace, Father. Help me to understand why certain traps entangle me and how i can be free of them. Show me how I can be Your representative, helping others to be liberated from their anger and leading them to faith in You. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
