Sometimes it happens to me that after a tiring day at the hospital, when I come home and my son asks me for something for the third time, I start raising my voice without thinking. The article is right, it made me think about how often I let anger rule me instead of letting God. I'm trying to put it into practice this week.
Some days I come home from work after 10 hours and my mom asks me for the third time where I left the keys. Instead of staying calm, I raise my voice. The article hit me right there. I will try to remember to pray first, before I open my mouth.
It also happens to me exactly the same after a long day in the accounting department: my husband asks for the third time about dinner, and his voice naturally rises. The article is right, most often it’s just fatigue, not anger at the person. I’ll try, as you write, to first stop and say to myself, “Lord, have mercy,” before answering.
