Learn prayer to overcome anger and live in peace

Beware, anger can destroy physical, mental and emotional health. Anger is one of the worst feelings a human being can feel and carry in their heart for a long time.

It originates in feelings of protest, insecurity, shyness or frustration against someone or something, which is externalized when the ego feels hurt or threatened. The intensity of anger, or the absence of it, differs greatly between people.

Anger can also be a passing or prolonged feeling, as well as rancor, which is the expression of human irritability and aggression. Other names such as fury, wrath, rage, hatred and cruelty also apply to the different forms or modulations of this feeling.

Having anger in a very strong state can cause people to be violent, vindictive, and aggressive.

This is a horrible and inevitable feeling in every human being. Being angry is normal. The problem is when we are angry at everything. Blind anger drives us to commit insanity and makes us lose people we love forever. As Shakespeare said, “It takes years to gain someone’s trust and only seconds to lose it forever.”

Now, when a person betrays us or offends us violently, frustration sets in, hurt sets in, and anger comes out violently, destroying our feelings.

Buddha said that “holding anger is like holding a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone; it is you who gets burned.”

When anger comes or exists within us because of a situation or person, we must calm this bad energy and get it out of our heart. There is a Chinese saying that “if you are patient in a moment of anger, you will avoid 100 days of suffering”.

This anger must be controlled, calmed and overcome. Feeding anger is signing our certificate of stupidity, as we are heading towards a death of very strong feelings.

The Dalai Lama spoke well of the consequence of harboring anger: “Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger at you, and you show anger in return, the result is disaster.”

The way is to accept the anger and forgive the reason that generates it. That is, forgiving the situation or person that made us angry. Is easy? No, it’s not easy. It is actually wise. Cultivating anger will only make you a boring, grumpy, sad person. If it’s worth it for you to live like this, live it. But your body can’t take it.

prayer against anger

“I am a child of God, in flesh and essence.

As a child of God, I cannot hold back negative feelings in my heart.

This, in addition to harming others, harms me much more.

I can’t be angry with anything or anyone,

as much as things seem to be conspiring against my wishes.

Being a child of God, as I am,

I find ways out of all problems, no matter how big they seem.

I see that the best way to do this is to keep a calm mind,

calm, free from any kind of negative feeling, especially anger,

hatred and rancor, which, little by little, decimate the soul, the spirit.

With a peaceful mind, the solution to my problems can be seen more easily.

As if negative feelings were a kind of fog,

that clouded my inner vision.

I’m not better than anyone

but I’m superior to any negative feeling

that might want to take possession of my thoughts or my heart.

This is a truth that I take to my mind, and there it must remain.

Ever.

Amen”.
