ARE YOU ANGRY?

(Anger that is directed toward God and others)

 

Some people would say that they never get angry with God and yet they will have nothing to do with Him.  They live in disobedience.  God is not so far away or disinterested in you that He will not listen to your side of the story.  Here are some steps in handling this anger:

1.  As soon as you discover you are angry, talk to God about it.

2.  Ask the question:  Is this righteous or unrighteous anger?

3.  Decide what are you going to do about it.

4.  Thank God that you can vent your anger to Him.

Anger is something we feel and is usually directed toward someone or something. Gaining control of anger is a must if we are to live victorious lives.  Anger can eat up a person so that they spend all their time and energy trying to satisfy this emotion.

Know that anger is an emotion and it is not to control you.  He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that takes a city.

Line up your thoughts and feeling with the Word of God.  What you feed your mind will feed your emotions.

Do not take revenge.  Do not avenge yourself, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord”

When something or someone stirs up anger within you, be careful how you respond. A soft answer turns away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger.

Deal with your anger as soon as possible. Be angry and sin not; let not the sun go down upon your wrath.

I pray that you will allow God to help you remove all unwanted anger, so that from this day forth you can begin to live a victorious life.

Pray this prayer with sincerity:

Father, I do not want to give anger a place in my life any longer.  Please remove all unwanted anger.  In Jesus’ name.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
