Overcoming Anger

I'm ashamed to admit it. I've had have anger issues. On a brighter note, the Lord has started to deal with my anger issues. He told me that the root of anger is insecurity. Insecurity leads to the pursuit of security through control, which is the gateway to anger. God also told me that in His kingdom security is obtained not through control, but through power of influence. He simply makes the world safe. He doesn't threaten to sit on it if it doesn't change, He changes it in His own time and way. I need to start trusting God on this. He is my security and His way of security is influence. He will influence my circumstances. He will stand up for me. He will make the very areas of my life where I've experienced and expected evil to be made good again. All I need is to forgive and trust.
