when I’m angry I shouldn’t hit or be mean,

He said to make peace,

Instead of to fight,

But tell me,

What does that mean?

Jesus says...

When I feel so low,

When someone purposely stepped on my toe

When they said something mean

That I want to say back

When they took my new toy from my own toy rack!

How can I do this?

I’m not sure I know how,

Show me please, I’m angry RIGHT NOW!

How do I make peace?

6

It’s the first step

So gather your breath.

Stop for a moment and wait

Why did they do that?

Did it even make sense?

Should I scream, should I hit, or continue to play?

Pause and think

Maybe squint a long blink

Then take a deep breath when you’re through

Open your eyes and you’ll realize

You’re ready for step number 2!

STOP!

7

With your mouth, not like a grouch

Be real and ask “why did you do that?”

Explain how you feel and that your hurt is real

Many people are nice and they’ll prove that.

But sometimes they won’t hear

Find a listening ear

of a mommy or daddy or teacher

Tell them how you feel and that your hurt is real

I promise it will help... I’m a preacher!

Is step three and it’s good that you see

The importance of praying for others

People are mean

and nice

and clean

They all need our Father.

The One up in Heaven,

Who’s Son He has given

So we could live like Him!

So pray for the person you feel angry against

It will change both YOU and THEM!

PRAY!

All you need to do,

When your head is hot and fists are tight.

YOU ARE A PEACEMAKER

You’ll change the world

When you desire to live your life right.

STOP for a moment and gather your thoughts

TALK to someone about how you feel

PRAY for the person who made you so an-gry

Three simple steps

that we’re like Him when we try to make peace,

So instead of trying to fight,

I want God to be proud of how I act,

so help me Lord to always act right.
