I don't fault you for being angry. I would be too... about the whole situation. But I think you're right about getting the anger under control and looking at this with a fresh approach. It's not a sin to be angry, Jesus was angry in the temple when he trashed the tables and ran people out of the building with a little whip. We are to be angry but to sin not. In the big picture, God oversees all that he allows to happen to us. I hate that you got injured and now may not be performing... but people are watching you and God is watching to see how you're gonna handle that justified anger. It may be that you are to push to keep your spot, sometimes that is his will. Or it may be that you are to humbly step to the side and be an encourager, sometimes that's necessary to work something in ourselves or in the people watching us. One is not a better or more righteous option than the other, imo. It always sounds better to be the timid one, but that's not always God's will for us in a given situation. Seek God and whichever one he is emphasizing, go after it with diligence and excellence. Love to you. Father, bless this musical gal. This is a heartbreaking injury and situation, but you have ordered her steps. You never plan our hurt, but you allow some things to bring about excellence in ourselves and in the calling/witness you have privileged us with. Speak to her heart and let her rightly discern whether this is a time for boldness and courage, or a time to come along side and be a help. It can be a humbling experience to swallow that pride and back away from sin, we are tempted to be ashamed of that rush of emotion. But Father I pray that there be no condemnation on this beautiful woman of God. We have all been in her place facing difficult and conflicting passions. Calm her emotions, clear her thoughts and refresh her spirit so that she can hear your voice and follow your leading in whatever she needs to do to bring you glory. Thank you for your presence in her life and her absolute commitment to you. Give her a testimony in all that she says and all that she does so that those around her will see Christ. Encourage her heart in this difficult situation. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Father. Amen.
