What The Bibles Says About Anger Management

Praying That God Will Heal Us

Many of us deal with anger issues. I know at times I do. I may not handle it by fighting or cursing but there are still expressions of anger than I need to work on. However, as we explore what it means to have the spirit of peace and self-control we will see the difference in how we handling anger and how God wants us to handle it.

This week we are searching our hearts and asking God to help us. (Lord, heal me and I shall be healed, save me and I shall be saved for you are my praise.) Many way the anger is a disease that someone has not control over. But we know that God is the healer and the deliver of all things. As we learn to line up with the word of God in the area of anger, we will see just how much submitting to God for our healing will bring about a change in our lives.

Ways We Express Anger ￼ Do you get grumpy, irritated or angry? If you have an anger problem, you may express it by screaming, engaging in physical violence or showing other signs of rage and fury. Or you may show it in less obvious ways—through bitterness, grumpiness, frustration, impatience, criticism, irritation, sarcasm, self-pity, depression or a cold silence—whether you are a Christian or not a Christian.

￼ No matter what type of anger you express, any of it can be destructive. Your anger hurts others, but it also hurts you—spiritually and physically. Most importantly, the Bible tells us that it grieves God.
