Reading of the Law of God
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your
anger. Ephesians 4.26
Confession of Sin
Our Father, we know that anger is a gift from You for us to
use in our battle with sin. But we must confess that we use it poorly. Our
anger so easily becomes sinful. We know that we are wrong in this. We can be so
very sinful in our anger. So, we ask that You would forgive us this sin. We
also ask that You would teach us how to be angry in the way that Jesus was
angry so that we might fight His battles faithfully. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over
transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger
forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion
on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into
the depths of the sea. Micah 7.18-19
