Get rid of all bitterness,rage, and anger,brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:31-32
So, I have been asking God to show me His mercy and grace so that I would have compassion on others no matter what they say or do to hurt me. With this He is showing me that I have anger and rage from past hurts which is effecting my present. If someone says or does something to me now that was said or done to me growing up then I immediately get offended or irritated.
And this is what He wants me to give to Him. All the control and accusations done to me as a child, a teen, and young adult. There's just so much there that I have been carrying with me but it can't go where the Lord is wanting to take me...Deeper in His love.

This is me, too. I struggle with being angry. And I struggle with overreacting based on childhood experiences. Today was a rough day for me. I am praying for you. I pray God would release you from this anger and show you how to truly be a new creation. I am not there yet either.
