Mad as hell

The revelations of the past few weeks have caused me much anger and distress. I have found myself ranting on message boards in a way that I haven’t for years. I didn’t like how it made me feel then and I don’t like it now. 

Heavenly Father, I trust that you are hear with me and with your Church. The failures of some of the men who have risen to leadership positions in your church have caused harm only repairable by your love. 

I pray you will open my heart and give me the grace to be a part of the solution to this crisis. Only through changing my heart and rooting out the pride, lust, selfishness and bitterness that eat away at my soul can I then love my fellow man. Only through a total emptying of myself can I love You in the manner you deserve. 

Please humble me and show me how to repent for my lack of loving You and loving me in an unhealthy way.
