The last step for successfully enduring difficulty may be surprising.
“Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.” – Psalm 37:8
The word translated “anger” literally means “nostril”. Nostrils flare when a person gets really mad.
Why mention anger? One of the same reasons most marriages fail where there is a tragedy or handicapped/difficult child. Anger easily comes to the surface in times of stress.
It doesn’t have to be that way! Don’t manage anger, stop it by being alert, deciding it will never produces good results, and letting it go as a sacrifice to Jesus.
Prayer: “Father, let this struggle this time be different. Help me keep your word in front of me and to cease being angry. I let it go as a sacrifice to Christ. Amen!”
