Healing My Anger at God

Dear God,
I see the world 
The way other Christians can't.
I often take things too literally

Sometimes my illnesses make me so mad
That I snap out violently
On people who are created in His image
And I know violence is not the answer

I know you gave me:
Bipolar, Autism, and ADHD
So I could make beautiful paintings,
Clean the church
Write good poems
And make great works of art

Help me not to hurt others
And do what is right
I forgive you, God, for my sicknesses:
Bipolar, Autism, and ADHD

Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds, we are healed.

The Inward Journey

When you begin the inner journey into your mind
You must clean out all bad thoughts and emotions
For bad thoughts and emotions 
Harm your body, mind, and spirit
If all our emotions are bad
Then we will do bad things

If we are left with only good emotions
They will shape us into a better person
If we are better people, 
Our minds will shine brighter
And our love for truth will disperse 
All the good we can do
And our love for others

Amen

The Teachings of Jesus are as Precious as Gold

His teachings shine on all men and women
His teachings support us and 
Show us the way of kindness and truth
They show us that the Kingdom of God is within us
That we are to be loving and truthful to each other
And that we can see God's glory
If we practice the teachings of our Savior 
We will be welcomed into His Kingdom
For his glory is as precious as gold and 
It shines over us

Amen
