Is anger holding you captive? Do you want to be free? Let us pray!

Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord! Bless us with Your peace, because for too long, we have allowed the anger within us to lead us away from the righteousness that You desire, we have been fools who allow the anger to rest in our bosoms, we have allowed the anger to so control us, that we no longer know how to be happy, teach us how to defer our anger and to overlook wrongs. Lord, help us not to be hasty in our spirit, but, to be swift to hear and slow to speak, to cease from anger and forsake wrath, to let us not seek to avenge ourselves, but learn to search our hearts and be silent. All this we ask in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen!
