Prayers for Freedom and Happiness
Prayer to be Released Anger
Anger can often feel like a prison, imprisoning us in thoughts and emotions that leave us hurting not only those around us, but ourselves as well. When we are feeling anger, it can be hard to let go and move on. But with prayer, we have the opportunity to hand over our burdens and find true freedom.
Dear Lord,
I hold onto the anger inside me, and it pains me to do so.
As I hold it, I fear it. I fear what it will be like to drop it because then I will feel my life has sought no justice for the heaviness it has caused me.
I slam the doors you open, and I ask you for forgiveness. Hold onto me when it's too dark to see you and offer me strength during this time of weakness.
At times I don't feel as though I am worth defending, and I start to break in desperation. This is because I feel the weight of your expectation of me, and I need to know what it is like to be free from that.
Help me release this anger in safe and creative wats, so I can live again.
Amen.
