Psalm 37:7-8 ” Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret when me succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil.”

One of the hardest lessons you’ll ever encounter as a Christain is learning to wait when you’re overwhelmed, distressed, and perturbed. Our first reaction usually is, “I must do something!” Which is the total opposite of what the Lord is telling us to do in these Scriptures. That’s because fretting which leads to irritation & anger always results in sin…rising from our determination to have our own way. So remember, resting in the Lord is not dependent on the circumstances we find ourselves embroiled in but on our relationship with God Himself. And anger is a very dangerous force that never ends well.
