Anger-Sunday morning

Dear Lord,
Please help us hold back and dump the anger in this house.  I did not cause it, I cannot control the anger of others, and I cannot cure it.  I can only control the things I think, feel, say and do.  I can model anger-free behavior.  I can use soft words, soft thoughts, soft feelings and soft actions.  I can be good, gentle, kind, faithful, patient and in control of myself.  I can be consistent with my actions and feelings, so that I am not unpredictable with my emotions and reactions to things that happen around me on a daily basis.  If a water cup is knocked over, I currently might shout or ignore, but I am never consistent.  Help me be consistent with my reactions/actions, Lord.  Help me be the mother and wife that I know you want me to be.  Help me model gentleness, kindness, goodness, patience, faithfulness and self-control to my family and the world.  Help me be a godly woman, Lord.  I know I cannot do it without you.  You can give me forgiveness and purity of heart and soul.  You can soften my thoughts and feelings, thus my words and actions.  Help me find better ways to guide these little minds in my home.  Help me always be loving and supportive of my family and friends. 
Amen.
