Anger isn't always wrong. What matters is what we do with it. Anger can sometimes feel explosive or show up as sarcasm, bitterness, or withdrawal. Either way, God invites you to bring even your most heated moments to Him. We're not left to fix our anger on our own. These prayers let you have a place to release what's eating you up inside. Let God reshape it into something healing, honest, and holy.
