Anger, Get It Toned Down

 


For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. James 1:20

What gets you angry? Neighbors dogs barking. Clerks who are rude to you. Speeding tailgating drivers. Cancelled flights. An opinionated person who shuts everyone else out of conversation. Maybe you have even made people angry as it is naive to think you don’t. 

When some people get angry they unfriend you. Others get angry and write letters, make phone calls or text. Anger causes broken marriages and broken homes. Extreme anger can end in killing someone. 

It is necessary to learn how to let go of your right to be angry. Forgive people even if they have not asked for it. Stay cool instead of popping a cork over noise that keeps you awake at night coming from outside your home. Talk to God and ask Him to give you His perfect peace. 

PRAYER: I need you every minute of every day. When I am tempted to get mad help me reign in my emotions. Use me for the kingdom of Heaven not the devils. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
