Listen "God's Empowering for Patient Mothering"
Episode Synopsis
By Kathy Collard Miller “Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.” - Ephesians 4:26In today's episode, we dive into the profound truth found in Ephesians 4:26, "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." This verse reminds us that feeling anger is natural, but how we handle it is crucial. Kathy Collard Miller recounts a harrowing moment from over forty years ago when she lost control of her anger with her toddler daughter, Darcy. In the throes of her rage, she felt hopeless and feared for their future. It was a desperate prayer to God that began her journey toward understanding and overcoming her anger.Through God’s Word, Kathy learned that anger itself isn't a sin, but unchecked anger can lead us down a dark path. Ephesians 4:26 illuminated this truth for her, showing that God provides the power to manage our emotions and respond righteously. Fellowship played a vital role in her healing, as sharing her struggles with a neighborhood Bible study group led to powerful prayer and accountability. James 5:16 emphasizes the importance of confessing our sins to one another, and Kathy experienced firsthand the healing that comes from such vulnerability.Moreover, exposure to others' encouragement and recognizing her perfectionism were critical steps in her transformation. As Hebrews 10:24-25 and Philippians 1:6 guided her, she learned that God's work in us is ongoing and often gradual. Accepting this allowed her to witness God's power manifest in her life slowly but surely. Today, Kathy looks at her adult daughter and marvels at how God's healing power has not only restored their relationship but also turned her anger into a ministry that helps others. Join us as we explore these four ways God empowers us to overcome our challenges and find hope in His unending strength.Visit Daybreak Devotions and Nighttime Prayers
