Meditations on "Anger"

Encounters with our awesome God or His angels often bring fear.

When we are not feeling good about ourselves or our performance and someone takes the time to encourage us with kind words, we immediately begin to feel better.

G After we courageously admitted that our lives were unmanageable, we then came to believe that we needed a power greater than ourselves to restore us to sanity.

G Living with God in recovery often presents difficult challenges such as: waiting for something we feel desperately in need of right now; not retaliating with anger when someone offends us; living with less when we could scam our way into having more; and facing the consequences of revealing difficult truths.

We live in a time of war and threats of war between nations.

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust in the new life Jesus gives us, does that mean we should never reflect on guilty feelings?

None of us like criticism but all of us should take time to hear what is being said and deal with it.

When we pray the full version of the Serenity Prayer, what are we asking God to do for us?

Just for today I will be joyful, optimistic, and grateful.

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

We don’t need to be told that emotional trauma is painful.

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.
