Prayer for Anger

I Know You are with Me

I Know You are with Me My faults are many.My will is weak.My heart is troubled.My life estranged. Your sweet breathcomes through the windand brushes my face,and I know You are with me. My fears are controllingMy mind is numbMy spirit is dampMy soul is fading.

Mad Enough

Mad Enough I want to fight, to yell,to lash out at the worldin which these things happen.But good girls don't yell or clench their hands into fists.What would people think?I hold my anger tight,and it becomes a part of me.With You, I can let it go.

The Word

The Word There are words for what I am...words that describe someone whoshatters connections with her anger,injuring strangers and loved ones alike,as she indulges her selfishness time and again. There are words for what I am.But teach me to let them go,to look within and see You,You with your own words.Loved.Learning.Forgiven.

I prayed for the adults, but these weren't my best prayers. I was too angry. I strode down the...
