Exchanging Anger for Peace
Reading: Philippians 4:6-7; Psalm 19:14; Matthew 11:28-30
Devotional: Jesus invites us: "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Anger is heavy. Bitterness is exhausting. Resentment is a burden too costly to carry. God never intended for you to hold onto what He's called you to release. Today is your opportunity to exchange anger for peace—the peace that surpasses understanding, that guards your heart and mind. This exchange happens in prayer, in surrender, in choosing God's way over your feelings. Acknowledge what you've been carrying. Nullify words you've wanted to speak in anger. Get before God honestly. Release the names, the moments, the offenses. Let the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be acceptable to Him. You don't have to carry this anymore. Lay it down and receive His peace.
Reflection: What specific burden of anger am I ready to exchange for God's peace today?
Closing Prayer: Father, thank You for these five days of reflection and renewal. You've shown me where anger has been dwelling and given me the tools to master the door before sin masters me. I choose peace over pride, surrender over resentment, and Your way over my feelings. Guard my heart, transform my mind, and let Your peace reign. In Jesus' name, Amen.
