God is in Control
Prayer works. When I am felling angry at someone or about something I can give it to God and he will take my anger from me.
Sometimes I harbor bad feelings. Whether or not the anger is justified I feel like I have the right to feel this way. Often, I do not want to be relieved of this feeling because it is my way of showing that I am hurt. But, I know this will keep me from being as close to The Lord as possible and He convicts me of this through my conscious.
When I get down on my knees and honestly pray for my God to take these feelings from me and heal me of my contempt, anger, bitterness or what other ill feelings I may have, usually by the time I arise, He has done just that!
God is good. He listens to and answers our prayers according to His will. Praise God!

Well aren't you two just adorable!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I will just add that if we don't keep our anger in check, we will develop unforgiveness, and then hold a grudge, and then be miserable the rest of our lives while the person that wronged us is perfectly happy and doesn't even know or couldn't care less that we hate them. "Vengeance is mine... I will repay" saith the Lord!!!
Love you guys. -Apes
