I as well have anger issues and still to this day at the age of 56. It is not as bad, but I still burst when it hits my nerve. I still have not learned how to just pause for a second and call on Jesus. I need to work harder to do that. The devil take over easily with me with my anger issues. Lord help me to learn how to control my anger and have the devil to stop taking over. I love you Jesus and thank for all your blessings 🙏.

I was a champion of justification, and one upping others. If anyone crossed me, I’d cross them twice as hard… Out to reach those around me not to mess with me. Growing up as a boy with my name, I learned early on throwing fists was the fastest way to stop the jokes and bullies. People stopped teasing at some point, but this mindset stuck with me until a couple years ago. When living life my way brought me to my knees, God was there to show me all the times I had a large role in all the past instances where people hurt me. If they pushed a button, I would push one of theirs harder, feeling justified because they pushed first. This is no way to live. This is how to die inside. Once I stopped pushing buttons, I started finding peace

Anger is driven by evil. Don’t let evil drive you to unchristian behavior. When about to pop, think of Jesus and what He went through for us. Meet evil with love. Love you Jesus! 💚🤍💛💙

I had an instance yesterday during work where i was really aggravated. I install fences, a gentleman was watching us work and towards the end told us not to use all the product cause he wanted some money back. So we had to pull up 32 feet of fence and extend just to get 5 inches so he could save money. I was fightin mad. But i kept my mouth shut and just now prayed for that gentleman. I need God to open and soften my heart.

Timely. I’m a teacher. Taught high school for over 20 years. This has been my first year teaching elementary art. I love the kids, but their behaviors have been super frustrating. We lead our district (out of 120 schools) in discipline issues. That includes high schools and middle schools too. My school is number one in discipline issues. We are all super frustrated. However, through prayer and scripture, God is helping me make it through each day moment by moment. To God be the glory!

This sure speaks to me. Quick to listen (do I play a role?) slow to anger. Lord help me to listen more and be a better husband, father, friend, coach, and coworker.

I'm a safely officer and I have a guy at work who thinks fire drills are an inconvenience and he's very negative and ignorant about it.
I needed this today because God is definitely working on me and building me into something better.
Yesterday he made me so made i wanted to deck him but God held me back to do something better. I stood up to him and then ignored him.
Brothers we can't let negative people move us.

it's so insightful but sometimes very difficult to do when emotional!
103/365: When Anger Takes Over
You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. ~ Isaiah 26:3
Exchanging your peace for frustration is how to lose life, not gain it.
When evil is tempting you, or when someone who is grinding on your nerves, take a deep breath and ask God two questions:
- "God, is it possible I have role in the way they are treating me?"
- "God, can you show me something I can learn from this, about you and me?"
GO DEEPER: Hebrews 12: 14-17
NEXT STEP: Now, stop and pray for God's grace and love to fall on the people who are frustrating you. Find your peace.
