Deliverance
My Temper
26/May/
Losing my temper still afflicts me even though I've been in recovery for a while. I am trying to allow God to work on this defect in my character, but I sometimes feel what seems to be an uncontrollable impulse to judge and condemn another.
When I have such an emotional outburst, I'm really asserting that everything the I think and do is right and that everything the other person does is wrong. Sometimes the other person is God.
When I lose control, I surrender to my problems. It is better to surrender to God, to place Him in control.
God, grant me Your serenity and calm. Quieten my spirit. Take control.
