Let go of anger and leave rage behind!
Don’t get upset—it will only lead to evil.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:15 (CEB)
Make sure no one repays a wrong with a wrong, but always pursue the good for each other and everyone else.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Payback is not an option.
DAILY FODDER
How much anger and rage are you harboring? How can you go about letting go of those things?
PRAYER
Loving God, thank you for inviting us to participate in your love for the world, including all the rebellious losers, like me. I know that you have called us to let go of our anger but it's a lot easier to look for payback opportunities than to pursue the well-being of those who anger us. The world is so full of rage, that we need an intervention. Start with me. Foster divine forgiveness and turn me into an equable follower of Christ Jesus. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
