Ever been at that point when you simply lose all semblance of control of the emotional centers of your brain?

That point of meltdown, of explosion, of verbal outburst?

Not good for me (shame, regret, guilt), for others who happen to be in the damage path, or for my relationship with God.

Lord, help me to control my emotions. Instead of frustration & anxiety, let me see peace and joy. Rather than letting anger well up, let me overflow with the fruits of the spirit.

Forgive me, and thank you for Your longsuffering patience. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
