A person having difficulty controlling his anger is not a bad person. Anger against ‘wrong’ is not sin! It is no disgrace to admit we have a problem and seek outside help. Peace, and the solution to life's problems, can only be found by turning to God. There are many Bible verses that deal specifically with anger and its implications. You need to pray for strength and self control to enjoy a life of contentment and joy. You also need to pray to God to remove the darkness of anger controlling you. Choose it! "You (God) will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, whose thoughts are fixed on you!" (Isaiah 26:3-4).
James 1 :
19 My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
20 Your anger can never make things right in God's sight.
21 So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the message God has planted in your hearts, for it is strong enough to save your souls.
Corinthians:
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful
5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.
6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
13 There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.
Proverb:
15 - 1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.
25 - 28 A person without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls.
Ephesians 4 :
26 And "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you."* Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry
27 for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil.
31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of malicious behavior.
32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Galatians 5:
22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and
desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.
25 If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives.
26 Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another.

Remember To Pray
REMEMBER to pray. That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of reward. Pray believing that God will answer.
May today be all that you need it to be for today.
May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight and conquer all your fears.
May God be manifest today in ways that you have never experienced.
May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer.
May you recognize the ways in which your prayers be answered.
May faith enter a new height for you.
May the scope of your prayers ever widen.
May you step into your place within ministry for God.
May you be blessed with peace, health, happiness, and true undying love for God.
"Do not worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God" (Phillipians 4:6)

My Passion For Singing
A friend once asked me what is my passion in life. I paused for a moment and thought carefully before answering because it was the first time ever a question like this was posted to me. Then, I replied that 'singing is my passion in life.'
I love to sing. I will never get bored or tired of singing. Infact, I started singing since I was a kid when I was around 6 to 7 years old. I could remember those days when my dad used to play the piano and I would sing. My parents were infact surprised that as a child of that age, I was able to pitch the correct key and sang with the right timing. Since then, my dad knew that I've inherited the musical talent from him and most importantly, he never discouraged me from singing but instead he realised that it was a gift from God. His advice was not to take up singing as a career but as a hobby and a service to God.
As I grew older, my passion for singing never ceased. I realised that God has given me this talent and I am to make full use of it to serve Him. Back in those days while I was in Melaka and in my previous church in Subang, I served as a backup singer in church. My favourite time in church is during the worship session. Eventhough God has given me this talent of singing, I am always reminded by the purpose of being on stage. I've seen many people who are very talented being chosen to serve in the worship team in church just because they are skillful and experienced musicians or favor being seen on stage to gain popularity in church. Therefore, the urgency to check ourselves in our motives, our thoughts, our hearts and to question ourselves whether we are doing it to be recognised or being on stage or really to give thanks and glory to the Lord. There is a difference when we sing to be recognised or gain popularity and sing with our hearts in tune to God. When we sing for God, we take pride in the lyrics of the songs because they are our heartfelt prayers to God. Then we are able to worship God with a meaningful and worshipful heart. As a part of the worship team, I am reminded that I carry a big responsibility and represent the church to lead the congregation in worship. Remember....we are accountable to God in everything that we do!!
Singing and music is my passion. I will sing while driving or being held up in traffic jam on the road, I will sing in the shower, I will sing when I have nothing to do.....as you can see, my life is all about singing. Sometimes, after a stressful and tiring day at work, I would turn on the music and sing, sing, sing. Believe me.....music does heal the soul and calms us down. I once told a friend that we can even worship God by just listening and singing worship songs while driving on the road. No matter where we are, God does hear us.
I am definitely not a professional singer but I still and will always have the burning desire and passion to sing for Him. I would like to thank God for giving me this talent and I will continue to be passionate in singing to serve Him.

Listen To Your Words
By Gail Rodgers
Have you listened lately to the words you use when you speak to those nearest and dearest to you?
Sometimes in the hurried flurry of our day we simply overlook the way we are communicating. We excuse our hasty words and harsh tones because we are tired or stressed.
God's Word reminds us that our words are very important. We need to take responsibility for what comes out of our mouths. Listen to these wise words...
"Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing" (Proverbs 12:18).
Our sharp words have the ability to cut the people around us. A wise woman will consider what her words are doing and will seek to communicate in a way that brings healing rather than hurt.
We know that our communication is made up of words, tone and body language.* Our words only make up about 7% of our communication.* Our tones make up 38%.* Our body language makes up the remaining 55%.
Take note today of what your communication sounds and looks like. It may surprise you. Ask the Holy Spirit to remind you to be wise in your speech and gentle in your tones and body language.
The world out there is filled with sharp words of sarcasm, criticism, negativity and worry. Go against the flow and ask God to help you bring a calm and gentle spirit to your home and workplace today through the way you communicate.
Hearts all around us are hurting. You have a unique opportunity today to be a woman of wisdom in the way you communicate. With God's help bring encouragement and healing through your words, tones and body language.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, forgive me for the many times words spring from my mouth that are unnecessary comments of gossip, hurt or criticism. Today I ask that Your Holy Spirit will be my guide in my communication. Nudge me when I am ready to speak piercing words. Fill me with Your gentleness and compassion and remind me that my tones and body language are communicating too. Help me to take responsibility for what comes out of my mouth. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
