When I was a young man anger was a stronghold in my life, although I didn’t think it was a big deal. I had a rude awakening when my wife told me that my anger had killed her love. As painful as her words were they were my salvation. For the first time, I realized how sinful my anger was and how destructive. It had killed Brenda’s love and threatened our marriage. I vowed to change but to my dismay, I realized I was powerless against the stronghold of anger. The Lord was my only hope, and I threw myself on His mercies. Desperately I prayed…
“Take control of what I say, O Lord,
— Psalm 141:3 (NLT)
and guard my lips.”
By the power of His Spirit the stronghold of anger was broken, and I was delivered. What He did for me He will do for you.
