When anger rages from within,
Ears no longer listen in.
You might be angry with another person,
Yourself, or even God.
Though you may hear,
You aren't really listening.
When vengeance or retribution are sought,
Then you are turning away from God.
Let go of anger,
For it will harm you.
Put your anger down, lay it at His feet.
Release the anger and let it flow out.
Let Jesus break the chains that bind.
Forgiveness always frees
The captive heart.
Lord,
When we invite You in,
You live in our hearts and souls.
You open our eyes to see through Your eyes,
Eyes filled with tears,
As the world turns with pain, anger, and hate.
Life could be so different,
It could be as it was meant to be.
If we desired our hearts to beat with Yours,
We would discover a world filled with love,
Acceptance, forgiveness, and peace.
Brothers and sisters loving You,
Loving others, seeking Your Will.
Every thought, every choice,
Made from infinite love.
We lift our praises to You.
Please guide our lives
To grow to reflect Your love.
Amen.
We sometimes face circumstances
Beyond our control.
Sometimes we feel bound
By chains of darkness and despair.
We may feel deep unrelenting pain.
Don't give up hope.
Jesus is with you right now.
His heart is pure and kind.
His devotion to you is forever.
Look to Him for your strength.
Lift your eyes above the troubles
That surround you.
Look to the One who wants to carry your load.
He will replace your tears and fears
With new joys and peace.
Jesus loves you.
You are His beloved child.
