DAY 1

MORNING PRAYER

Today’s prayer is a self-reflection on anger and wrath, giving our anger to God.

O Lord,
Must I fear Your wrath? Retribution is Yours by right!
May I never dishonour Your Divinity –
my soul seeking to maintain Your love.
Shape my being into earnest kindness –
a reflection of Your perfection.
Grant me the grace of self-control, that I may not display any anger.
Should I have such an outburst,
instantly remind me to seek redress,
for such is offensive to You.
Anger is Yours alone to avenge!

Amen
