Do not fret
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret – it leads only to evil.
Psalm 37:8
I’m a fretter/worrier. I’m also quick to anger. Both of these are dangerous things that could lead to sin. I’m sure most of you already know about the anger one, because when one is angry, one often says/does stupid [...]

The Hardest Thing
