TODAY: Admit to God and to others where you have been wrong.

1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Agree with God that your attitudes have been wrong when you have harbored hate or have been critical. Where you have wronged another person in your anger, confess it to God, and to the other person involved. Ask for that person’s forgiveness; heal the relationship.

REMEMBER: There are other ways to deal with anger

Anger is our natural reaction when someone wrongs us, or when we think someone has wronged us. It’s not a sin to get angry, however; Jesus himself got angry at injustice and sin. You must understand that we can be angry without dipping into sin!

When we lash out at others, we often do enormous damage. On the other hand, when we suppress our angry feelings, we risk becoming bitter and depressed. Someone has wisely said: “Anger is the powerful acid that can do damage to the vessel in which it is stored as well as the object on which it is poured.”

So how should we handle anger? What should we do with feelings of rage?

Daily Prayer

In Prayer tell God you repent for all those situations when you have lost your temper and became angry for no reason. Ask God for forgiveness and pray for courage, so you can go to the other person and heal the relationship.
