Anger & the Heart

Caught myself having anger problem these days & despite me praying & praying, it doesn't seems to get away.

Today, i sat down & i prompted to just keep quiet & listen to God about this. A question pops up in my mind which lead me to think what makes me go angry... took about a minute or two.. yeap, a few causes.

Then i was guided to zoom into the cause. For example, when someone doesn't do something i asked, i would go angry. So as i zoom into this, a deeper issue surfaced. The problem is not someone didn't do something, but the problem is why do i get angry when that person don't do it? 2 questions were asked by God:
-Did i place my hope of success upon that person?
-Did my security found in people listening to me?

So, to summarize, the problem is in my heart. Finding my security & focusing in the wrong place.

Look, an external issue always reflects your heart. So, my anger issue is not that person, but is my focus & security. God truly is a God of wisdom, He never see things the way we see, but He looks into the heart & provide answer that sets people free completely from the Inside Out.

-Heart of a problem, is the problem of the Heart-
Rev Kenneth Chin

This incident has taught me to learn to listen to God, the professor of heart. Prayer works, but breakthrough many times lie in listening to what God has to say.
