Years ago I prayed to God to ask him to help me deal with my anger, grant me more tolerance and peace. My reason for asking for these items was because I was quick to anger; I had zero tolerance and didn’t have peace. Today I thank him for giving me what I asked for. Recently some things occurred which could have taken any other person out of character, but it was the peace of God which held me. As I began to tell a friend what I endured in my life they asked the question I can’t believe you didn’t react differently. As I sit here I can say God has provided a calming sea in my spirit. People tend to think you don’t respond to certain people a certain way out of fear. It’s not fear at all it’s the fact that I’ve realized that I don’t have to fight this battle. God can get a person back far better than I can. I refuse to allow my blood pressure to rise above the norm to allow someone who isn’t worth my time or my effort. My prayer is that if you feel as if you need more peace, love, tolerance or help with your anger then allow God to work these things out in your life. I sit here this morning in total awe of his changes in my life and I thank him for calming the rocky seas in my life.
