Speaker 3: Our goal for today's meditative prayer is releasing anger. Step

26
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: away for a minute from the demands of life. Position

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: yourself in a comfortable way in a quiet environment. Close

28
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: your eyes, take a few calming, deep breaths. Now focus

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: your attention on today's verse. We will be meditating on Proverbs,

30
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: chapter thirty, verse thirty three from the King James version.

31
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 3: ringing of the nose bringeth forth blood. So the forcing

33
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: of wrath bringeth forth strife. Now take a moment to

34
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: pour out your adoration to God for who he is. God,

35
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: I praise you for your ability to do immeasurably more

36
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: than all we ask or imagine, according to your power

37
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 3: that is at work within us. To you be the

38
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 3: gloe in the Church and in Christ Jesus, throughout all generations,

39
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: forever and ever. Amen. Some emotions are easier to work

40
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: through than others. Anger is not one of them. When

41
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: anger takes over, it removes the ability for logical rational thought.

42
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: No good resolution can come from a place of anger,

43
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: because stirring up anger will just cause strife Like a disease.

44
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: Anger can spread and contaminate others around you. Under the

45
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: influence of anger, what was once a possible misunderstanding can

46
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: turn deadly. Acting out in anger can cause family feuds,

47
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: lost friends, and professional positions. Anger will never produce anything good.

48
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: It will only affect others and yourself in a negative way.

49
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: If you've been wrestling with anger, the Holy Spirit can

50
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: help you change. Pray to God. Confess to the Lord

51
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 3: your feelings of anger. Let the Holy Spirit minister to

52
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: that area of your heart. Take a moment now to

53
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: dwell on God's goodness in your life. Thank God for

54
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: the fruits of his Holy Spirit. Thank Him for enabling

55
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: you to be patient and kind, to control your anger

56
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: and not act on it. Thank God for teaching you

57
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: to have patience and wisdom in times of rage. Thank

58
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: God for the ability of self control. The Holy Spirit

59
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,280
Speaker 3: for bearing Godly fruit in your life. For the moments

60
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 3: he spent ministering God's grace to you. Thank God for

61
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: past progress you have made in this area and for

62
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: the progress yet to be made. Do not forget. God

63
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: is present and he is listening to you. He desires

64
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 3: to teach you to have patience in times of anger.

65
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 3: He wants you to be in control of yourself in

66
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: all circumstances, so reach out to Him for his help.

67
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 3: Pray for God to give you a cool head in

68
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 3: a hot situation. For you to be able to walk

69
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: away from an escalating problem and compose yourself. Pray for

70
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: grace to deal with anger. Ask the Holy Spirit to

71
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: teach you to have wisdom to know to walk away

72
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: and calm down. Remember nothing good comes from anger, for

73
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: it causes strife. Be wise in your interaction with others.

74
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: Do not push arguments and don't provoke altercations. Acknowledge an

75
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: address conflict and issues in a godly manner. Choose to

76
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: act from a place of grace and love. Be the

77
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: better person the person God has called you to be.
