I said “holy” anger only to make it sound more spiritual, I guess.

I was thinking about prayer and passion in prayer in the past couple of days. This thought has occurred to me as I have mulled over my laziness in prayer.

When the enemy attacks me, I can pretty much “take it.” It’s not that I can really “take it,” but I don’t always share what’s going on. There are times I do share with close friends and they lift me up and it is incredible. But, most of the time, I take my cares to the Lord and ask. It’s not the best way, and I understand that. It’s just an admission.

But when the enemy attacks my family and friends… I am angered. Really… really angered. It drives me to prayer. And it makes me drive others to prayer.

This morning I had one of my classes pray with me and as I prayed I said, “Lord, I don’t want some little peace to come to my friends, I want the enemy  completely destroyed in this attack.”

God, please give us holy anger in prayer. Please let us NOT tolerate the attacks of the enemy in our lives!
