Healing Diagnosis

Rage

Angry. Aggressive. Wanting to fight whoever. Damaging property. Argumentative. Mood swings. All of this comes after depression. The reason being is because, you felt like the people you have in your corner wasn't there for you in your depression. But, you have to learn that not every storm you face is meant for everyone as well.

While going through after losing my spiritual father, I became at rage because I felt like certain individuals were supposed to be there. I remember crying to my husband saying, "I'm cutting them off, when I needed them the most they weren't there!" I was so angry!

Later on that night, I felt this urge to pray. It didn't make sense because at that moment I was feeling the urge to fight. But, I went down to pray and I remember my body feeling as if someone was sitting on me. My entire body felt so heavy and I couldn't move. Immediately, the Lord spoke to me and said, "tell me what's wrong my child."

I instantly began to cry. I said, "God it's not fair, I'm always there but they couldn't be there for me. God I want to fight. I don't want to talk to you I want to fight." He said, "My child how can someone be there for you that's looking for something or someone to be there for them? I have placed certain individuals in your season because they are equipped to handle this. Yet, you push them away because you want to place who you feel should be here."

Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine and I stopped crying. I started to think like, what if so and so were here for me? What if God allowed it? Would I be at more raged? Or even worse locked up for acting out of rage? All of a sudden I didn't want to pray anymore. I felt as if he'd set me straight enough and that's what I needed.

Sometimes, we prolong our raged emotions because we shut God out. How can Susie help Helen if, Susie isn't equipped spiritually to handle the situation? Just remember that we don't qualify anyone to do what they do. Only God does that and he'll never send the unprepared to help the needy.

We have to stop assuming that because a person is our friend that they're where we are spiritually. In my last book I stated we all want to heal but, our paths are not the same. We all want to be close to God but, that doesn't mean we'll all take the necessary steps to get there at the same time.

Here are some tips that I used to help with rage. First, anything that triggered me I removed. I didn't care if it was a shirt. Maybe the shirt reminds you of someone that causes your rage. Get rid of it. Healing doesn't look like an angry pit-bull. It looks like a fluffy poodle.

Secondly, stop looking. You go looking for trouble you're going to wind up in it. Why go through that man phone if you already had a gut feeling he was cheating? If he's cheating believe me God will show you. Because if he's meant to be in your life forever, he won't cheat. If you're looking to be angry, mad, upset, ragged; you're not looking to heal.

Lastly, but is always to be first; pray. Prayer changes things. I don't care what anyone has told you prayer changes things! If you're praying and nothing is changing it's because you aren't putting in the work to match your prayer. You can't pray for God to remove the rage out your heart then you go reminiscing on what someone did to you five years ago. No. Pray and seek Gods face daily! Trust him to do what he said he would do.

Rage is an emotion after depression that causes you to act out aggressively. Get into trouble and have you back into depression once you realize what all you've destroyed. How long will rage consume you? Aren't you tired of frowning? Doesn't the migraines drain you? Loosen your jaws, relax and allow God to replace rage.
