Reflection

“He who angers you conquers you.” –Elizabeth Kenny

Prayer

God of peace,

Guard our hearts against the grip of anger that separates us from each other and that blocks your peace from flowing among us. Remind us that clinging to resentment gives the enemy a foothold and prevents us from living in the light of your love. Whether it’s at work or home or my society more broadly, challenge us to release our anger and be quick to forgive, especially as we consider the many ways you have forgiven us already. For the sake of deeper healing and wholeness, as your people united, Amen.

Call to Action
