Fleshly anger is rooted in pride

-

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I confess when I get offended, I lash out in anger or I let my hurt feelings lead me to despair. Please help me to NOT let my heart grow hard, as you help me develop thick skin.
 I ask that you give me a discerning heart and peace loving spirit, so that I will know when; to learn from it, let it go, and when to respond to it. Help me love like you love. Help me to be patient, kind, and loving. Help me to keep a tender heart, to listen, and to be humble.
Finally, help me to be strong, by depending on your mighty power!
In your name we pray.

Amen

Claim victory over pride! 

There now is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 NLT

Pride causes arguments, but those who listen to others are wise.  Proverbs 13:10ERV

 Be humble and honor others more than yourselves. Proverbs 21:24 ERV

 “Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can remain strong against the devil’s evil plans. Our fight is not against human beings. It is against the rulers, the authorities and the powers of this dark world. It is against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly world.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:10-12‬ ‭NIRV‬‬. you version bible app

Maybe your telling me that I need to do more… maybe its the enemy using the opportunity to sneak in his lies, as he often does. With the quarantine comes much more responsibility, teaching is something I gave the thought to but often told myself I couldn't do it, now to find myself forced to the very thing I couldn't do! Its funny how you do that to me. Although it takes me time to admit it, but I see that you are growing me. Lord, help me to trust you more. Help me to be patient. And please help me to see that even though I cannot always see the lesson in what is happening that I need to focus o...
