Prayer when Angry
Oh God, I'm angry. You know what be the problem. Suddenly, I lost control, I was in this anger.
Soothe my soul, O God. I'm afraid of myself. Thousands of power seemed to have come to me. I am ready to swear at, injure and even kill. Oh God, Do not let me hurt others and myself. Do not let me spit attitudes, words, and deeds that could harm.
Enlighten my mind, get rid of the fog that covers the power of my reason. With Your help, hopefully I can judge fairly, whether the anger this time for the right reasons or otherwise. If it turns out wrong, hopefully I can quickly get rid of it. If I was angry because the truth may I still be able to express my attitude to the wise.
Thou art my God, my life benchmark. To you, I beg of strength. Blessed be the glory, forever. Amen.
