Road Rage?

It is finally Friday. The end to a hard week of work. God's blessings are abundant though. He never fails to provide and never leads us astray. Let me just preface the following statements by saying I am from Houston ----->I had a thought this morning as a lady proceeded to cut me off twice and flip me the bird, twice... What if, instead of filling up with rage and wanting to tell the lady about herself, I prayed for every individual that cuts me off, drives 20mph, or runs a light? Refocusing their negative energy towards positive life-changing thoughts can result in tremendous blessings for the world... Now, if you have ever driven with me, you understand that I can be an impatient driver, I like to get where I am going and I like others to bow down to me and part the seas. Since that rarely happens, so lately I have been trying my new prayer technique and it has worked. No longer am I shaking from the early signs of road rage, but I am now able to rejoice that God and I have worked together to possibly affect someone's life in a positive way. I will never know if they cared or if they just continue to flip the bird, but maybe just maybe that chick with the wayward finger will begin lifting her head and hands to the sky in praise instead of raising it for other reasons! :)
