Prayer to Cope With Anger

Lord,

sometimes I get angry.

So did You.

This day, whenever I find myself angry, help me to accept that anger as a reality.

This day, help me to realize that my anger is itself your gift, sent to me to work through wisely.

This day, fill me with Your love and understanding,

so that I may control my anger

and direct it into things

that make Your creation better for us all.

Amen.
