Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 James 1:20

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
JAMES 1:20

DEVOTION
Based on James 1
This verse reminds us that human anger does not accomplish God’s purposes. While there are times we may feel justified in our anger, unchecked wrath often leads to harm rather than healing. Human anger tends to focus on personal offense and retaliation rather than God’s justice and mercy.

God calls us to a higher standard—to respond with patience, grace, and self-control. His righteousness is revealed through anger, love, peace, and understanding. By surrendering our emotions to Him, we become vessels of His grace and reflect His character.

Take a moment tonight to release any anger that may be clouding your heart. Breathe out frustration, and breathe in God’s peace. Ask Him to help you pursue His righteousness through love and gentleness.
A.C.T.S. REFLECTION
ADORATION: Praise God for His perfect justice and patience. Worship Him as the One who rules with mercy and calls us to live in His righteousness.

CONFESSION: Reflect on times when your anger has led you away from God’s ways. Confess any bitterness or frustration that may have clouded your judgment.

THANKSGIVING: Thank God for His grace, which helps you overcome anger. Express gratitude for the patience and self-control He offers through His Holy Spirit.

SUPPLICATION: Father, help me to release my anger and pursue Your righteousness. Teach me to respond with patience and love, reflecting Your character in every situation. Fill my heart with Your peace, and let my actions bring glory to You.
