Facing right now
Anger
Breathe. You are in a safe place. Move through these three, slowly.
A prayer for this moment
God, cool this fire in me. Guard my mouth and my hands. Show me what's underneath this anger and meet me there.
One thing you can do right now
Step away from the person or situation for ten minutes. Breathe in for four, out for six. Write down what you're actually feeling before you respond.
Or name something else
“He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” — 1 Corinthians 10:13
