Anger

Anger is one of my biggest battles I deal with. Not just on a day to day basis but on a minuet to minuet basis. I am ashamed of how I overreact to situations. That is where the L in REAL, really comes into play in my life. Love Him. To love Him with all I have. But also to Love myself, my family, my friends and anyone that God places in my life. To love them all as He loves them.
But that can be hard at times. Especially if anger comes into play. Anger and my reaction with anger. So how do I overcome this? How does anyone overcome this?
By knowing that we are all flesh. That we are not perfect. That God loves us no matter what. And to keep close to your heart that He will help you work on this. Just keep your eyes and heart on Him. He will get you through it. And together you will overcome anger.
I challenge you and I to pause when anger starts to show itself and pray to God to help release us from that. That He show us and guide us on how to handle the situation as He wants us to. Then ask ourselves what about that situation got us so angry in the first place. Why was I so quick to anger? And pray that God help us with that as well. Anger is darkness and God is light. Light overcomes all darkness. His light will shine.
Thank you God for helping me through this darkness in my life and for loving me despite this flaw. Giving you all the glory.
