I would appreciate your prayers and am als...Tracie,<br />I would appreciate your prayers and am also looking forward to any further insight you may have to share. I have tried to overcome anger in my life by begging God to take it from me, by willpower, by bottling it, by letting it out, by siting down and "intentionally forgiving" and most recently I have have simply thrown my hands up in the air and just started praying each time (usually after the event) that God would sort it cause I acknowledge I can't do it on my own. My ladies group has just started studying the Bible on this topic hoping for some insight as several of them are having similiar issues. The hardest thing is that we are all angry with those we should be loving and want to love. What's incredibly frustrating is that I agree with what you have written, but when the same thing continues to happen and hurts you again and again it seems so unfair that my only response is to forgive and then wait for the same thing to happen again... I definitely need prayer, cause I do not have all the answers or probably even the right questions. It is however something I want to deal with, or have dealt with in my life, I want to know how to be angry without sinning. I want God's joy and peace in every area of my life. I want God to say to me "well done my good and faithful servant". I want to honour Him and I know my anger isn't honouring Him and seems to hurt me as well as those I love. Thank you for your prayers.<br /><br />Father God, as someone who experiences anger I want to surrender it to you. I also want to come on behalf of all the women who have had the courage to post here today and I want to pray that you would help them practically with their anger. I also pray for your spiritual protection over each of them so that Jesus will have victory in this area of our lives and that the devil will be defeated! By your Spirit transform us into your likeness.Rochellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-86219217120132760022012-05-08T20:06:06.272-04:002012-05-08T20:06:06.272-04:00Thank you for the Proverbs 31 post regarding anger...Thank you for the Proverbs 31 post regarding anger. I too struggle with this ugly, relentless sin. I grew up with a Father who had a horrible temper. All of his siblings also deal with anger and temper issues. Please pray for me and this ongoing struggle. I feel so ashamed and unworthy of my Lord's love and forgiveness. How many times do I fall short, I feel like such a hypocrite!

I have been asking Him to reveal to me what and/or who I need to forgive. I've sad an underlying sadness that's plagued me for the past couple of years that I really haven't been able to identify. As I've been trying to work through this with a counselor there have been some revelations but none having to do with anger or forgiveness. The whisper in my heart keeps saying that I need to forgive myself. Please pray for me to understand this and to get to the root of it so that I will no longer be oppressed by it. I know God is doing a powerful work inside of me right now, I so much want freedom this year. Thank you for the work you do through your writing.

He's not doing good in school, he tell stories about the simple petty stuff. All I want to be is a great mother. I know I have a temper at times but I am working on it. Also my soon to be mother in law came out and said that she feels like she is losing her son when we get married this October and she dont know how to feel about her son getting married. It really made me feel some type of way and it makes me very angry. Her son and I have been together almost 8 years with a 2 year old son. I mean really? Could it be that she is almost 40 years old and isnt married yet? Jealousy? Anyway this blog post hit the spot and I really need to work on my anger and learn how to forgive. Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent a little.

Please pray for me, that God would soften my heart toward my husband, show me my own sins and give me a heart of repentance, and also fill me with His power to love and to forgive.

I felt that my friend from church told me the right thing to do including my pastor but after they helped me move I felt like I was just dropped off and abandoned no one had anything to say to me or even called to see how I was those were one of the darkest moments of my life. I still feel very alone I just can't understand. I have gone back to lthe church and it seems like I'm avoided alot. I don't know why I brought the man I was seeing in the relationship to the church in the first place and this is what I get.I feel so angry all the time He still goes there and so does she I don't run into them bc I go to a different time. I just feel soooo betrayed by all at sometimes. I don't know what to do I pray but I still end up emotionally upset as well as angry and confused about the whole situation.I get soo overwelmed trying to get rid of the anger on my own Maybe God has provided this blog for me I don't know so please please pray for meAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4154405870041249691.post-10876167014062057362012-05-07T17:12:32.350-04:002012-05-07T17:12:32.350-04:00I am so blessed to have found this today! I have ...I am so blessed to have found this today! I have felt so terribly alone in my hurt over my husband's affair and pornography addiction. He has been sober for 3 years and we have done a tremendous amount of counseling. Somehow, I thought everything would be happily ever after if he were faithful and sober. Of course it's not because life doesn't work that way. Instead, I see clearly my husband's character flaws that made him choose these behaviors in the first place. Changing character is deep, hard work and when my husband hurts me, much old pain and hurt come back--sometimes so fresh. I have been in a time of impatience and discouragement--on the verge of giving up on my marriage and bitterness. Even on the verge of giving up on God. This post today and reading the other comments reminds me I am not alone. Even if these things are not safe to discuss in my church, there are Christian women who are walking this same tough road and do understand. Please pray for me.

I said and did some things in my anger that I am not proud of and had to ask for forgiveness for. I wanted him to feel the hurt, anger disappointment and frustration that I was feeling. This happeneded a few weeks ago and I feel justified in my anger! I am having a HARD time letting the anger go! I am so angry that it is consumming me. I am graduating from law school in a few weeks but my anger has totally stolen my joy and I cant even praise God for this major accomplishment in my life because of my anger. I try and pretend that I am not angry because I know what the word of God says but I just dont know how to get rid of the anger. Please pray for me because this anger is consumming my life and thoughts and it is causing me to be on an emotional roller coaster and to be someone that I am not.

I have huge issues with anger and unforgiveness for my husband because he had a affair and I'm still finding things that are suspicious and so hurtful and disrespectful. I just went off on him the other day and went backu old ways of yelling, screaming, swearing and almost broke the computer monitor. I was so angry and yea sadly only felt justified in that very moment. I have learned through this nightmare that nothing justifies my anger and I must seek Gods peace, strength, love, grace and mercy so I can speak to my husband calmly and not fly off the handle. I have struggled so much with this on the huge topics and triggers of his affair and/or disrespectful behavior. I know the only way out of this darkness is to turn to God and remain at his side...to stay on this righteous path with him.
