It's not very often that you see a picture of a parent on Instagram showing how they felt angry with their kids, right? Everything always looks so blissful and "that mom over there" must never get angry or frustrated with her kids! Meanwhile, we sit in our homes and our kids are struggling with anger or we are struggling with anger, and we feel that we must be the only one.

Here is the good news, you are NOT alone if your kids have made you angry. Anger is a common human emotion, but it's all about what we do with our anger and the "preventative medicine" we have to anger if we submit our emotions to Jesus.

So today we are going to talk about my struggles with anger (mostly inwardly) that I never thought I would struggle with and how I am working through that in my own life and in the lives of my girls. I hope this episode brings you hope, joy, and a desire to let Jesus in to give you his gift of patience.

KEY VERSES:

James 1:19-20-My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 

James 1:5-If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
