Prayer for Inner Peace: Overcoming Anger Through Faith

Dear Heavenly Father,

In moments of frustration and anger, we turn to You, seeking Your divine guidance and grace. Grant us the strength to overcome the fiery emotions that threaten to consume us, replacing them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Help us to recognize the triggers of our anger and to respond with patience and kindness, just as You have shown us in Your boundless love. Teach us to forgive those who have wronged us, releasing the burden of resentment and paving the way for healing and reconciliation.

Fill our hearts with Your love, Lord, that we may extend compassion and understanding to others, even in the face of adversity. Let Your light shine through us, dispersing the darkness of anger and bitterness.

As we surrender our anger to You, may Your Spirit dwell within us, guiding our thoughts, words, and actions towards harmony and unity. Empower us to channel our emotions in constructive ways, using them as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Amen
