Prayer for a few issues I'm having.

[TopazRaven]

I know I make a lot of prayer request, so my apologies, but I'm just hoping you could spare a prayer for me and some of my current issues.

First off, this is the one I consider the most important to get under control. I've come to the conclusion I have somewhat of a serious anger problem. Oddly enough though...it's toward inanimate objetcs, more then often my computer. My computer is quite old at around 5 years old now and it freezes up a lot. Often times he can stay with a frozen screen for over 5 - 10 minutes and I get so aggravated I just lose it. I'll literally scream and curse at it. The neighbors probably think I'm in here abusing something. I really don't like this part of myself. I tell myself every morning I'm not going to freak out on the computer for not working correctly, but I always do. Haven't so far yet today, but it's probably only a matter of time.

It's not a living creature, but I still say some really terrible things to it. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'd really hate to have to take something like an anger managment class, but if I can't get myself under control I might have to. Just please pray that my attitude towards inanimate objetcs will get better. Often times yelling at my computer will leave me irritated for awhile after and I end up snapping or having an attitude with people around me which then leads to arguments, usually with my mother.

Last, but not least, we have my paranoia. I worry about everything that could possibly be worried about with my top three being tornados, getting rabies and hell. You probably all think I'm psychotic now.

I know what its like to have anger issues. I still struggle with anger issues to this day. It took a lot of serious devotion to keeping myself from anger, and talks with God. Only last year I would fly off the handle for no reason.

There is something there that causes you to be angry. A situation you are in, feelings about someone etc. You just have to pinpoint it and ask God to help you. Seriously, my whole life I've been a loose cannon, and this year, I'm shown some shocking changes. ^^ I know you can do it!

Don't feel dumb, or anything ok? We all struggle with issues. Anger is a very large issues that goes with a lot of people. So don't stress about it.

About your worrying, just relax your mind and rest in God. You should just close your eyes and think of all the blessings Jesus has brought to your life. Books, food, a house, etc. ^_^ *huggles* it helps. You can't control tornadoes, so there really is no reason to worry yourself senseless O.K.? Rabies is easily avoided, don't get near foaming mouthed animals, and keep your animals up to date on rabies shots, also uncontrollable. ^_^ And as for Hell, I understand your fear. I used to be uber afraid of it too, until I realize how silly it was. I was saved and Jesus Christ was with me. I had no reason to fear hell, Satan or demons! You can put all these fears to rest in Jesus. ^_^ He is more powerful than any of those things and loves you dearly.

I'm praying for you!!

Thank you Nami! I'll try and take your advice. xD It does make me feel bad whenever I get angry, I'm sure me cursing out poor Gary (my computer) probably doesn't please God. As for worrying I'll try my best and relax.

The computer problem can be fixed. The one I use is about 8 years old and still runs fine. You should use programs to help clean it up like CCleaner and Defragmenting your Hard disk drive would probably help. If there aren't any programs that you aren't using, uninstall them. Lastly, you can purchase a RAM chip to help increase how much your computer can handle.

As for anger, it helps if you bite your tounge. Saying things or actinging out of anger will only add fuel to the fire. Take a deep breath and slowly count to 10. If needed, remove yourself from the situation.

I find that sometimes with inanimate objects, you just need to walk away for a bit and do something else. Hiryu also has some good suggestions as to how to get it running better. Another thought would be cleaning out the HDD some since getting the thing too full can cause some notable issues.

What Nami said.

Also, not to get spiritualistic here, but you might want to also pray that God would hinder or rebuke any spirit of fear or anger that is trying to influence you. It may be just you, but there could also be something outside of you throwing fuel on the fire. I think it's just good to try to cover that base, so that in case there is something spiritual at work you've left it in God's hands rather than trying to fight it yourself.

I would like to say I agree with all responses so far, and I'm prayin' for you as well. =)

Wow, first of all, thanks for the advice! Though I'm not very good with computers so I don't really get anything you just said. I'll have to write all that down and show it to my uncle, see if he can do anything about it. xD Often times I do have to leave the room to aviod punching the computer into the wall, I only seem to stay mad though. I'll try biting my tounge and counting to 10 and see how that works. Thanks again!

I pray quite often about these issues actually, both my anger and my fear. I haven't noticed any changes and considering I've had these problems for over 6 months now I'm starting to get rather discouraged. None the less I'll still pray and work hard to try and improve upon my behavior.

Thank you very much.

The CCleaner is a program that works like Microsoft's Disk cleaner that comes installed, but it works more efficiently IMO. It's a program that's designed to remove temporary files, empty the recycling bin if you haven't done so, and cleans up your system files that you don't need any longer.

Defragmenting the Disk Drive is a process of moving around data so that it will load faster. The way the computer saves data to the hard disk is unorganized. It saves things in the order that you save them. If it's more organized, it will load faster. There's a Disk Defragmenter that comes with Windows, but I'm sure there are programs out there that work faster.

I'm guessing you know how to uninstall programs.(If you don't, here's a hint: Look under the control panel in the start menu)

RAM chips provide more workspace for your computer so it can handle more things. It's like a workbench. Nowadays, If you only have about 250-500 MB of RAM, that's a small workbench. You'll run out of room quickly to put things. But the more MB of RAM you have, the bigger your workbench is.

Prayed! At least I'm not the only one struggling with this...
