Begin the Day with Gratitude
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
When I heard their outcry and these charges, I was very angry.—Nehemiah 5:6 (NIV)
Anger can be a good thing. It can help guide you out of situations that need changing and lead you to make important decisions. So if you feel angry about something, instead of pushing it down deep, let it come to the surface and examine it. Use your feelings to uncover problems that need your attention.
Dear Lord, help me learn from my anger and then release it.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
