I'm having one heck of a time...

Dear Diane,

Don't despair, just devote yourself to Him, in prayer and gird yourself up with His Word, It WILL STRENGTHEN YOU! :il:

That's why He gave it to us, to help us, and to speak to us and counsel us. Just stay close to Him. The Lord Whose Name is The Word, will help and comfort you, so plant His Word continually in you, so that you can hear Him throughout the day.

In His Love,

Suzanne

Have you been baptized, and if so by what church?

My big temper problem used to be stop lights. My wife and dad say it is pentance for the way I drove before I was 25.

I hit so many stop lights red that I now occasionally stop at green lights. It used to drive me near nuts for I drive a lot every day.

One day I put a cd player in my car and purchased the bible on cd by alex scorby and my whole attitude toward driving changed. It really doesn't matter if it takes me longer to get there now, and I have been known to just sit in the parking lot for many minutes until I get to the end of a chapter or some interesting subject.

I now occasionally have people honk for I forget to take off within 35 miliseconds of the light turning green.

Making a long story short loosing ones temper is simply all attitude. It all depends on what's going on in your heart, and the priorities you have in place.

I do still get a bit testy when someone cuts me off in traffic, but that is as much fear of crashing than a bad attitude.

ThreateningEww: I didn't quote that. I'm not sure why you put "Cat" down.

Jesus4me: Here's a more non-standard answer to the problem. Enjoy the journey.

My husband has chronic road rage all the time. I enjoy the journey and just get absorbed into my music, (which I play loudly).

I make the journey so pleasurable, I'm in no hurry to even find a parking place....I enjoy my time driving around so I don't feel the urgency to take a parking space.

I feel even better when I deliberately "give" someone else a spot I was waiting for...kinda blows their mind.

I feel like I'm just walking backwards...I enjoy what would irritate others, give when it's least expected, and compliment undeserving people. Any chance I can get to demonstrate grace...it just fills up the space marked for "anger" with "joy" instead.

Jesus4me40,

Get out your Bible and look up the scriptures on anger. Study them, asking the Lord to help you understand and obey His word. When you are tempted to blow up at people stop and think on those scriptures. A good one is be angry and sin not. Now apply the word to your life. Yes, it may be tough at first, but if you hold your peace, you will find that each time it gets easier and easier. You will learn that walking in love is a fruit of the Spirit and it is one weapon that knocks the devil for a loop real quick. Also, the more you stay in the word and wear out the carpet in your prayer closet, the more you will become like Jesus. You just gotta produce much fruit if you are in daily fellowship with the Lord. One of the fruits is selfcontrol.

Father, help this new child of Yours to learn to put anger in it's place and grow in the grace and the knowledge of Your word. I thank You Lord for it, in Jesus name amen.

AMEN!

also it helps in all confrontations to say to yourself:

but for the Grace of God, there go I

and learn to giggle in your heart at any trouble

cause Jesus is there with you

praise His name!

Amen love from a sister, Carole :hug:
