A prayer to pray now
Dear God, in Jonah 4, You asked Jonah if it was good for him to be so angry. He was mad about a plant. I get mad about little things, too. About my turn. About my snack. About the way my brother breathes. I do not always do well when I am angry. Could You catch me when my chest starts to tighten today? Soften me before I yell. Even Jonah needed help with his temper. So do I. Teach me to stop and ask myself: Is it good to be this mad? Help me listen for Your voice in that moment. Amen.
