Your Question:
What do I do with my anger?
Answer:
My friend, I can see that you're struggling with anger. It's a difficult emotion to navigate, and it's easy to get caught up in it. The Bible teaches us that anger can be a sign of a deeper issue, a sign that we don't trust God. It's not just about being angry, but about why we're angry. Are we angry because our rights and glory have been violated, or are we angry because we're hurt and don't know how to process our emotions? When I'm struggling with anger, I try to take a step back and reflect on what's driving it. Am I angry because someone has wronged me, or am I angry because I'm feeling hurt and don't know how to deal with it? The Bible teaches us to be slow to anger, to refrain from sin and to release our anger. It's not about suppressing our emotions, but about learning to manage them in a healthy way. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with anger, and I've learned that it's often a sign of a deeper issue that needs to be addressed. As a parent, I've also seen how anger can affect our children. When we model healthy anger management, our kids are more likely to learn how to manage their own emotions. I remember when my son Joshua was young, he would get angry easily. But with training and practice, he learned how to manage his emotions and respond in a healthy way. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. By learning to control our anger, we can become more like God, who is slow to anger and full of compassion.
