I am so angry tonight. I feel like I want to get in a fight. The frustration of work and personal life has created the perfect storm for me. I am completely enraged.
Why? Good reasons… kind of… not really. Nothing that matters eternally. Why is my perspective so short?
I’ve snapped at both my kids and my wife this evening. Thankfully the only thing I’ve punched is a wall. So what is going on? I’m sinful. I haven’t gotten things going my way at all today, and I let that kill my joy and contentment. Thus I’ve sinned.
My statement for the year, which Craig encouraged us to seek the Lord for is, “My happiness does not depend on getting what I want”. Well, I’ve completely failed at keeping that in mind today.
Heavenly Father, please forgive me for my selfish outlook on life. Please teach me the truth behind my joy. Please forgive me for being so angry with the world this evening. In Jesus name, amen.
