Turning over my anger

I saw a fellow today that has done work for Wes in the past. It has not been a good year for his business. He was smiling and happy to chat, but he was open about how difficult life has been. He said, “I’ve been through hard times before, but I can’t see us recovering from this one.”

My heart ached for him. I don’t think we’ve even scratched the surface of the economic hardship or the turmoil. For those of you who have been able to pivot and keep going, good for you. But many people haven’t been able to do that. This business of stop and go, stop and go economy has ruined them.

I feel helpless and angry.

But resentment doesn’t help. Anger doesn’t help. Anger and resentment only destroy. They don’t build. I don’t have within me the power to fix anything. I can’t make people see sense or heal the hurts of those around me.

But God can.

What I can do is give my anger to God. I can pray for this man and his family. I can pray for my neighbours. I can pray for my own hurts.

God is the answer.

Isaiah 35: 5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the
ears of the deaf unstopped.

  1. Oh yes, Roberta, God is still the answer and what a precious gift we have in lifting our heartfelt burdens to Him in prayer ❣️
    I came across this beautiful hymn, on the website, Hymns With a Message ~ “God is Still on the Throne “.
    As you grew up on hymns, you possibly already know it. 😁
