Go Back to All Parenting Resources Helen Keller once spoke of the need to “look the world straight in the face.” And God asks that we worship him in truth, delighting “in truth in the inward being . . . in the secret heart” (John 4:24, Psalm 51:6). That’s what I’ve found my anger problem required: The courage to look at things as they are, not as I wish they were. Nor to look at my children, relatives, spouse, friends, or self as the people I wish we were.
