Insight

Anger is a doorway into your soul, into learning more about your emotional program. When you get angry it’s because a deep fear has been triggered. It’s probably the “fear of failure.” And, when you feel “failure” you can’t help but lose control of yourself and get angry.

People with understanding control their anger;
    a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Proverbs 14:29 (NLT)

Fools are quick to express their anger, but wise people are patient and control themselves.

Prayer

Father, please help me not fear failure. Amen
