Heal me Lord for my wound is great.
Forgive me Lord for I have failed of late.
I want to run from the pain of my despair;
When all I truly desire is for you to repair;
All that's been wounded,broken,and failed in me.
Restore me, comfort me, give me eyes to see,
All that you're doing, repairing, preparing to be.
Forgive me Lord, for I am my own worst enemy.

Anger resides in the lap of fools
Anger always has something to with our attitude towards God. For anger at its root is not mere agitation or temperament displayed or hereditary disposition. These are excuses for erratic and godless behaviour; No, anger has it's roots in a nagging sense of justice gone wrong- that is that I or someone else has not received justice or perhaps been done wrong. Outside of God there is no justice for he is the author of it; sustainer ,arbiter, judge and jury.
In order for justice to be justice it must justly be constant, not subject to cultural relevance or paradigm shifts.Constancy must be it's benchmark or else it cannot be trusted and would therefore be unjust. It must be objective- that is , outside of ourselves-since cultural swings cannot provide us with consensus ,for society is too moody and too fickle to be credible. It stands to reason, and reason alone would dictate the necessity of God for constant and objective good to exist.When men express anger they manifest their disapproval of God and his sense of justice.
"Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to become angry." Brother James , half brother to Jesus Christ.
