Your Question:
What do I do with my anger?
Answer:
As someone who has been a pastor for many years, I've had my fair share of dealing with anger in myself and others. When it comes to anger, I believe it's essential to recognize that it's not just about the situation that's causing the anger, but also about our own hearts. Anger often reveals more about our own hearts than it does about the situation. It's a sign that we don't trust God and that we're imitating the wrong things. In order to deal with anger, we need to take a step back and examine our own hearts. We need to ask ourselves why we're angry and what it's revealing about our own hearts. Are we angry because we feel our rights or glory have been violated, or is it because we're imitating God and seeking justice? As it says in Scripture, we should be slow to anger and not let it burn out of control. We need to learn to control our outbursts and not let anger simmer and fester. As a parent, I've seen my own children struggle with anger, and I've learned that it's essential to teach them how to manage their emotions and not let anger control them. We need to model healthy anger management ourselves and teach our children to do the same. This involves recognizing the difference between righteous and unrighteous indignation and making sure our actions are motivated by a desire to do what's right, not just to express our anger. By doing so, we can help our children learn to manage their anger and become people who imitate God, not the world.
