“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.” –Anonymous

Prayer

Holy God,

As a ministry called to extend your life’s work and purpose, we know there is such a thing as justified anger. Righteous anger, which confronts every injustice with the challenge of genuine peace. And yet, in our culture today, we can feel a spirit of anger that is hardly so holy. Help us respond to this anger by exposing its lovelessness and its drive to divide us. May we boldly embody a spirit of peace. In our words and our deeds, help us quell anger’s fire and prevent it from spreading. For the sake of a culture more anchored in peace and justice, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be cautious today about what I do with my anger. Am I able to channel my anger in healing directions, or do I need to seek help in managing anger?
