Anger can just brew and boil up in us, if we let it. Keeping our anger under control can be challenging for all of us. Anger is a normal and even healthy emotion, if controlled well. We should express our frustration in an assertive yet non-confrontational manner. It is not about who can yell the loudest or who gets the last word.
The caption above gives the best anger management advice... prayer. Prayer changes people on both sides. This doesn't mean to advise anyone to say 'I pray [they] will see things my way.' When we pray the right way, we will be calmer, think more clearly and be open to seeing things through God's perspective.
Anger is danger, if it is let loose off it's leash. Tame the tongue, just like it is a wild animal.
Not being an anger prone person, I don't have to deal with that so often. But that doesn't let me off the hook; I have to deal with fear. Any thoughts on that one?
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts. Reminds of the verse, Eph 4:26 "Be angry and do not sin." It is possible to be angry and yet handle it the right way. Now...to work on handling it the right way ;)
ReplyDeleteThe tongue again? Really, Angie?! The Lord knows what we need, and you always seems to have the right word for me. And I am not even angry about it! Love you, T.
