A Prayer for Overcoming Anger through Forgiveness
Share
Merciful Father, we seek Your grace to overcome the anger that weighs heavily upon our hearts. We acknowledge that harboring resentment only breeds bitterness and separates us from Your love. Forgive us for clinging to offenses, for we know that forgiveness is not for the sake of the offender, but for our own freedom.
Teach us to forgive as You have forgiven us, releasing the burden of anger and embracing the peace that surpasses understanding. May Your Spirit empower us to extend compassion, even to those who have wronged us, for in doing so, we reflect Your boundless mercy.
