Amen brother. Most of the things we get upset about don’t even matter anyway. Road rage is actually a bondage. It’s a habitual and irresistible impulse to rant at people who neither notice nor care. We say all kinds of things we’d never otherwise say, in a tone of voice we’d never otherwise use, somehow permissible because of a faceless stranger in a car. One of the enemy’s best modern weapons to steal our daily joy and keep us distracted. I prayed to be delivered of road rage, and the Lord supernaturally delivered me.
If you start off small by keeping your joy despite little things, you will in fact build up more positive mental health, which makes you stronger for praying through the big stuff. Remember what Peter said that prayers are hindered when men yell at their wives. The condition of your daily home life, and the tenor of your daily conversations, has a big impact on your spiritual success.

You know, when I did that message, I had figured I would be tested hard on Monday as I tried to put this into practice. It wasn't Monday, but Tuesday I had to deal with a road rage driver, and I didn't do so well. All I had in my mind was the scripture coming back to me to rejoice in the Lord alway. It is something to keep practicing and seeking God about. The two-edged sword is coming back at me too.

I finally found time to watch this message, and it is something I need to work on. I will try to do that starting today and see how it goes.

Road rage is a serious issue, and learning to rejoice in the Lord is something that will help there, but I believe it will help us in many other areas in our lives too. Whatever the struggles we are dealing with, learn to rejoice in the Lord always, at all times.
