Quick to Anger

We, as men, have a temper. There are the few and proud who have either been born with calm spirits or have learned to deal with their anger. I am neither of those two. I am quick to anger and slow to calm down. It's what I've learned to be as a man. To be a "MAN" in this culture you have to do a few things well, and that is exactly what I've learned. You have to:

1. Never take any crap from anyone, ever!
2. Let out your anger but keep all other emotions in.
3. Don't ask for help.

God has a different plan for us. James 1:19 says, "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry,". These are words we should ALL take to heart and follow.

Dear Heavenly Father, 

I come to you tonight to pray over my manliness. I am too much of what my culture calls a man and not enough of what you have deemed a man. Please Lord, work on my attitudes with me, calm my spirit, make me more like you. I want to be a great father and husband, and to be great, I have to model what it's like to be a Godly man to my son. I love you,

Amen
