Raging Heart

I feel my anger overpowering me.
I have lost my sense of balance
my sense of control
my sense of security.
Now I stumble my way to You and ask You,
lay a calming hand over my raging heart.

Give me the wisdom to see my righteous anger
as an alert to danger,
so that I can respond by caring for myself.

Help me resist the desire to treat my anger as a weapon,
so that I will not perpetuate hurt
by responding with aggression.

And please teach me grace,
so that I may know peace by learning to forgive.
-  A. Wurdeman
