I am able to get rid of my Irritation and Anxiety .

Whenever I am cumbered with a load of care, I would always want to ostracise myself. I can easily get irrigated and burst out in anger prompting me to shout or scold my kids for their simple mistake. My kids can easily detect my mood, they know if I am in good mood and if there’s something I am bothered off I will make the them the object of my mood swing. I am their mother, and my children are not to be the target of my rage when I am not in a good mood. I should not make them the target of my displeasure. They are not designed to act as a shock absorber and transcend my emotions.

Children are sometimes the source of our anxiety, but they should not have to deal with what we are going through. We should protect them rather than force them away. I usually lash out at them and drive them away, leaving them with the impression that they are my problem that I no longer want to talk to them. When they are in the house, they attempt to avoid me, scrutinising their every move so that they do not provoke me. My house is supposed to be their safe haven not a horror train.

The bible emphasizes in the book of James 1:19-20

“know this my beloved brothers; let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak slow to anger, verse 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

Protecting my kids means not only to the outside but from me. Whatever we sow to their heart we will soon reap it. We should be an example to them. Gentle slow to speak slow to anger.

Ther are many verses warns us against anger Proverbs 29:11 says;

A fool gives full vent to his spirit; a wise man quietly holds it back.

When I truly need to voice my dissatisfaction, I have to learn to control my emotions and choose my words carefully. I didn’t pick it up right away. I slowly learned the hard way apologizing to my kids every time I lose my temper. I spend a lot of time talking to God. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed by a lot of stress, I will either go for a walk and talk to God or I will go to my room and pray to him, expressing all of my feelings as though he were standing there, listening intently, and saying something like, “Okay, go talk to me.” Casting all of my worries on Him rather of letting them out on those around me makes a significant difference. In contrast to before, when they would simply come home and head straight to their rooms without speaking to me, I soon saw that my spouse and kids would joyfully return home and communicate with me about their job and school activities.

1 peter 5:7

“Cast all your anxiety to him for he cares for you.”

There is no greater place for me to go than to fall at Jesus’ feet in every situation that life throws at me. I find that praying to God is the best way to obtain calm, comfort, and a revitalising sense of well-being. In prayer and plea, he brought everything to him while kneeling. By venting all of my doubts, anxieties, and needs to God, I am able to get rid of my irritation and anxiety.

Mathew 11:28–30

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
