Give up "anger" for a day. Don't invite it back.

Anger has a way of diminishing horizons, closing us off as we hoard our ill-feelings.

This Lent I am focusing on "living-towards" instead of "fasting-from," but anger is one of those things that I really do need to fast from ... and live instead towards forgiveness. 

Forgiveness opens the door to a heart that expands. When I live in a forgiving space, I lean into God's shalom. My world has seeds of wonder, awe, and possibility.

Now, giving up "anger" isn't exactly easy. Sometimes it takes praying to God every day (or even every hour) for a forgiving heart.  Are you ready for the hard work of releasing anger and living into God's shalom?
