Lord, help me to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. For I agree with You, my anger can never make things right in Your sight. (James 1:19-20) Father, I refuse to sin by letting anger gain control over me. I choose not to let the sun go down while I am still angry, because I know that anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil. Help me rid myself of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior. Instead, Father, I choose to be kind to others, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as You through Christ has forgiven me. (Ephesians 4:26, 31-32) Lord, help me to remember that You said that if I forgive those who sin against me, that my heavenly Father will forgive me as well. But if I refuse to forgive others, the Father will not forgive my sins. I know that I am saved by grace and not works, but this shows me how serious You are about forgiveness. Help me to follow Your example!
(Matthew 6:14,15) In Jesus’ Holy Name, Amen.
