I'm new to the forum. I've been searching the internet for articles on anger management and relaxation techniques. None of them are helping. I'm filled with rage toward my husband and have been for some time. We are in the process of divorcing, which was his desire, not mine. I'm literally crippled with anger and I feel as though I've been poisoned inside with it. I keep praying for the strength to cope, for peace of mind and heart, for the courage to forgive, but I don't feel any better.

I'm desperate enough now to come onto this forum and beg for help. Anyone out there who is willing to honestly and from their heart pray for me, please do so. I need help terribly. I've become physically and emotionally sick because of this anger. I want to let go of these negative feelings, forgive him, move on and find peace again.

Please pray for me. I cannot live like this any longer.

Lord God,
please heal Amy, fill her with Your love, kindness and peace of mind. Live in her, Lord Jesus Christ, that she may live as You do and bring glory and honor to Your name. Bless her, Father. Come into her heart and take her in Your arms. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I'm praying for you. I wonder if you feel the divorce caused the anger or was it there rage before? I've had an anger problem much of my life and really learned to control it through my marriage. On the other hand, if my wife, out-of-the-blue, decided to not be married anymore, I would be angry, justifiably, for a very long time before I got to the point of forgiveness. The Bible does not say not to be angry...just not to allow anger to cause you to sin. Rage is definitely getting to the sin side of anger. And, as you know already, anger is not a healthy emotion to continue. So, I'm praying for just what you asked.

Agreeing with Glen and Princess in Prayer.

I was angry at my wife like that. I put up with her attitudes and mood swings for nearly 13 years because I was in this for the long haul. But she wanted a divorce and I didn't fight it. After all, it freed me from the misery I endured. But that didn't mean I was not angry - and I stayed angry for years afterwards.

You know how long it took to get rid of that anger? Just as long as it took me to reach that point when I let go of it. I could still be angry if I let myself be.

Shalom.
