My little boy, has been sick and in the habit of waking up every morning at six o'clock, an hour before I want to wake. One day he woke up at half past five, and his mother told him he must keep still for an hour and a half. He kept making a noise, till at last his mother had to speak sharply to him. When I woke I found him sobbing.
I said, "Willie, what's the matter?"
Well, he was pretty angry with his mother. He got out of bed and knelt down, and I said, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to say my prayers."
I told him God wouldn't hear his prayer while he was angry with his mother. If you bring your prayers to God and have anything against your brother you need not pray.
Well, the little fellow went off upstairs, and by and by he went up and asked his mother to forgive him, and then he prayed and went off with a light heart and kept a light heart all day.
Christ says, "You can get victory through Me."
With the love of God in us we can speak kindly to those who have angered or annoyed us.
