I've found myself getting angry about stuff in the past day or two. I don't like it when I find myself angry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to pick fights with any of the people around me or anything like that - the worst that usually happens is that I make sarcastic digs at people - or snub them, and not talk to them for a while. But that's bad enough - especially if the thing I'm angry about is not actually their fault.

And it's not always that easy to explain what's making me angry either. Perhaps I'm angry with myself more than anyone else, for being depressed, for sleeping late, for not fulfilling my own expectations of myself. I shouldn't punish myself for this, but on the other hand, I shouldn't punish anyone else either.

So I'd like us to pray that God will heal this anger, and pray that I learn to respect God's ability to work through the people around me and the relationships I have with them. I'd also like us to pray that my faith is made stronger, so that maybe frustrated hopes don't lead to anger in the first place. Above all, I'd like to give thanks God for providing all the good things in my life, despite my many sins.

I have already been praying for you as I do for all that come to this forum.
