1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: And he said, my presence shall go with thee, and

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: I will give thee rest. Exodus thirty three fourteen. Thank

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: you Lord, that your burden is easy and your yoke

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: is light. When your presence goes with me, you do

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting, and I can learn from you. If

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I quiet my anxious thoughts and realize you are with me,

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry. I can enjoy the experience

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: and the wisdom of your ways. Forgive me for being

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: so self conscious. I miss your presence with me and

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: am ruled by fear instead of excitement. My past blinds

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: me to your truth, and it is difficult to fully

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: apprehend the fact that you are with me. Thank you

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: for your patience as I grow in the mysteries of

14
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: your kingdom ways.

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:56,520

Speaker 2: Our goal for today's meditative prayer is releasing anger. Step

24
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: out of your surroundings and take a moment to center yourself.

25
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: As you breathe in and out, focus on quieting your

26
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: mind and relaxing your body. Now turn your thoughts toward

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: what God has prepared for you. This moment we will

28
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: be meditating on Ephesians chapter four, verse twenty six from

29
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: the King James version. Be ye angry and sin not,

30
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Take

31
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: a moment to pour out your adoration to God who

32
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: hears you. God, I praise you, for you are omniscient

33
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: and omnipotent. You have created the earth and all it encompasses.

34
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: I worship you for you cause the sun to set,

35
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: in the moon to rise, the galaxies and cosmos, ebb

36
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: and flow by your power and permission. Your power is unmatched,

37
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: and your glory fills the heavens. I exalt you, Lord,

38
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: for you have done all these things, and still you

39
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: think of me. Being human and possessing a heart means

40
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: you will experience emotions. Some emotions are positive and some

41
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: are negative. Feeling wrath is not a sin, but choosing

42
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: to hold on to it is. God knows you were

43
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: not perfect, and he does not expect perfection from you.

44
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: Things won't always go as planned. Others will say and

45
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: do things that will aggravate and annoy you. It is

46
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: impossible to never feel anger. Allow yourself to acknowledge what

47
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: you felt and move on. Don't nurture grudges or hold

48
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: on to them. Try to solve issues before they become problems.

49
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: Letting go of strong emotions is hard, and anger can

50
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: pack a punch. Maybe you've been fighting with anger and

51
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: holding it close to your heart. This is your chance

52
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: to confess those negative emotions to God. You were not

53
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: made to hold on to wrath, so wash your heart

54
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: clean before Christ. Now consider for a moment God's goodness

55
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: in your life and thank him for it. Thank God

56
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: that he has not destined you for wrath, but to

57
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: obtain salvation through Jesus Christ. Thank him that his mercies

58
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: renew every day. Thank the Lord for he is slow

59
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Think for a

60
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: minute on past experiences where God spared you from his wrath.

61
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: Think of how you did not deserve mercy, but God,

62
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: in his infinite love, granted you mercy anyway. Thank Him

63
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: for past mercies and for his mercy still to come.

64
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: God is present and he is listening to you. As

65
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: long as you live, you will run into anger. Emotions

66
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: are part and parcel of being human and being alive.

67
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: God knows this, and he has not left you to

68
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: navigate these waters alone. The Holy Spirit is given by

69
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: God to help you have control over your emotions. Seek

70
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: God out, reach out to Him for his help and healing.

71
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you to deal with

72
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: anger quickly and to let go of it. Remember it

73
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: is okay for you to feel anger, but you are

74
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: not to be controlled by it. Fix issues as soon

75
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: as possible to avoid bigger problems. Do not let the

76
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: sun set on your anger. Do not choose to live

77
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: with it festering in your heart. You have God's Holy

78
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 2: Spirit to show you the way and to assist you.

79
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Seize this day to remove all anger from your heart.
