Whatever a person will not link pain to is exactly where their next collapse is already scheduled.
Whatever a person links the most pain to is what they move away from hardest, and what gets asked for under pressure exposes the link. The pain attached to the venom and never to the speech that called it down, so the prayer targets the bite and leaves the appetite for complaint fully alive. Repentance that pain produced is repentance pain owns, and it expires when the symptom does.
The intercession lands, and Yahweh answers a motive he never required, but another person's prayer cannot do the relinking. Until pleasure attaches to becoming someone who does not speak that way, the desert will have to bite harder each time to get the same confession.

Am I sorry for what I did, or just for what it cost me?
Relief from the symptom is not freedom, because the craving that produced it is still running. Pull the root, not the leaf.
If you want to stop being angry, stop feeding the habit of anger rather than waiting for the people around you to improve. The cure is upstream of the pain.
To know your own sickness is the beginning of health. The trouble starts where a person treats the consequence and leaves the cause untouched.
