Take a long look in the mirror as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“Everyone should be…slow to become angry…”
(James 1:19)

I’m certainly not arguing with You, Jesus.

This is who I long to be:

Slow to anger.
Real slow.

But just when I think I’ve mastered it

I blow it.
Fast and hot.
Zero to 60 in a heartbeat.

I think I’m starting to figure it out, though:

The less something matters to me
the more laid back I am.

The more an issue matters to me
the faster I get angry.

Pathetic.

That’s not controlling my anger at all, is it?

Help me lean hard on You

next time something I really care about
goes south.
