Temper
Father, keep me from becoming a quick-tempered person who stirs up dissension, but make me one who is slow to anger who calms a quarrel. I will strive to be temperate, dignified, self- controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. Remind me that the one who is slow to anger has great understanding, but the one who has a quick temper exalts folly. As your servant I will seek to be blameless as one entrusted with your work, not arrogant, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for gain. I will remember this, that the truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning. In your Son's name I pray, Amen.

I needed this =)
Amen to that! Beautiful prayer!
Chris, this is a good reminder to all of us... though I overcame my "temper" some years ago, it still can bubble up now and again... not often though.
I find myself wondering, what prompts you to pick your prayer subject word? Do you have a list, or is it in response to life? Just curious.

Hi Dixie, I have a system to come up with the word, however, I guessing that God is doing most of the work. I started it out as a response to life and I guess it always will be. I really hope people, especially me, can use this blog as a sort of reference manuel for when things get crazy. Thanks for letting me see the fruit via your comments.
