"Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?"

(Jonah 4:4, KJV)

In the light of this noontime hour, we pause to ask ourselves the hard questions. Why are we angry? Is there an unmet expectation hidden beneath our rage? Does this anger benefit us, or is it destroying our health, our peace, and our relationships? Today, we stop the blame game. We own our feelings. We identify the triggers. And we choose to act in a healthy way, closing every door that gives the enemy a foothold. Lift your voice and let us pray.
