The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (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.
