I have an anger problem. I'm easily annoyed and that leads to anger that seems to come out of nowhere. I try to tell myself that something doesn't bother me, but it keeps eating away at me. Then I stop to think about it and it gets me even more worked up. Why do I act this way? Why do I get so angry over things that are not my concern and/or none of my business? It's absurd.
This week my lesson centered around true freedom: freedom in Christ. He is the only one who can give me freedom from the chains that bind. Anger is just another sin that controls me. I don't control it (ha ha, clearly, right?). And the only way this is ever going to get better for me is when I give it to Him.
Here, God, here is my anger. I'm giving it to you. Please drop it behind your back into the sea of forgetfulness and free me from the lies of self.
