Road rage

I spend lots of time driving around between visits and some days can spend several hours in the car, particularly if the traffic is bad. This evening I shocked myself with how aggressive my driving was becoming and the fact that it was accompanied by some very unchristian hand gestures. Realising a moment of calmness was needed, I tried praying for the safety of road users, and calmness and courtesy for myself (rather than my usual prayer that all the cars in front would evaporate) and perhaps unsurprisingly, my anger and frustration evaporated. I should try this approach more often!
