Good Morning!! Anger is a God-given emotional energy, designed for good. It doesn't have to,...but it can often lead to
sin. We can control our thoughts and actions. We
can stop allowing anger to master us. The Bible teaches that we should
not be quick-tempered.
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,—James 1:19 (NIV)
Instead of responding out of anger, we need to slow down and think about things before we act or react. We have all blurted out hurtful angry remarks, and then wished we could take the words back. Slowing down can help us avoid those situations, and regrets.
"God doesn't do what He does BECAUSE of us. God does what He does in SPITE of us."

The next time someone does or says something that you don't like—stop! Take a deep breath, and consider the best response, first.
Father,
help us look beyond what people say,...and see their hearts. Forgive us
for the times we've responded to quickly, or and foolishly,...out of
anger.
Teach us to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slower to get angry. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
"God doesn't do what He does BECAUSE of us. God does what He does in SPITE of us."
