This one is interesting to me.
It's a call for me to dig deep because I wouldn't call myself an angry person... anymore.
But I have to admit that anger was one of THE KEYs to me crying out to the Lord to heal my heart and change what I couldn't change on my own.
It was a big 'ol red flag telling me loud and clear that the Fruits of the Spirit were not consistently a part of my life - the fact is that my kids were the trigger when they decided they didn't want to do what I had planned for us to do (homeschool mama here!).
The change in me over the last six years is incredible, and I still recognize that anger can rise to the surface in a very short amount of time when I am busy.
When I am focused on what I want & love to do, I see clearly that I still have work to do.
I love this declaration and will be intentional with my tapping in order to reduce the stress in my body (I know my body is gonna be tempted to argue with me as I declare this out loud!!) and I'm excited to bless my kids with compassion just as Christ blesses me!
Declare:
I walk in compassion, letting love guide my responses rather than anger, and tenderly care for others in the way Christ cares for me.
🕊 Prayer 🕊
Lord, I ask You to replace my anger with the deep compassion of Your heart.
Pour Your love into me so that I can see others as You see them, responding with tenderness instead of hostility.
Teach me to live in the fullness of Your compassion, letting love be my guide in every encounter.
Show me what it looks like to walk in the depth of Your kindness toward others.
In Jesus' Precious, Powerful Name, Amen.
Scripture Inspiration ~ Colossians 3:12 (TPT)
You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all.
