George reflects on what we can learn from the scriptures and Jesus for a more thoughtful and loving approach to anger, rooted in prayer, kindness, and the pursuit of reconciliation.

SLIDE GEORGE READ FROM IN OUR GATHERING

God has given us the angry psalms to help us feel angry without being undone by our anger; to rescue us from the desire to do violence to others; to heal and unite us; and to show us the possibility of a faithful anger. It is in this sense that the psalms of anger are essentially prayers of relinquishment. 

—W. David O. Taylor, The Psalms as a Guide to Life
