How To Use Christian Anger Management
Christian anger management principles are found all over the Bible. The books of Psalms and Proverbs are loaded with them. With these guidelines, Christians are expected to live and be examples of peace and orderliness so that the entire world would be a better place to be.
There are not a lot of instructions, but in different places they are worded differently. However the meanings are left unchanged.
We will look quickly at six of them.
Keep away from anger
Reading the Bible, you will realize why this is included in the Christian anger management plan. The two big reasons are that anger leads to sin, and anger has the effect of putting a person in danger of the judgment of God.
Let things go
Let people get away with things. If they have caused you any damages just fix it and leave them up to God to get even with. Under his power they will reap what they sow. However, forgiving others their trespasses against us is a big part of the plan in which we expect to have our trespasses forgiven.
It is still sin
The situation is that someone has angered you and you go and cuss them out or do some other thing to soothe your hurt feelings.
The truth is that something wrong in God's eyes has just taken place. The fact that these people bothered with you first and made you angry does not matter. You are expected to be cool all the time, and losing your cool can get you into trouble.
Pray
Prayer is the beginning of all Christian effort. Many things are done in the world without prayer, but for something to be recognized as a Christian thing prayer has to be involved. Praying is the way that a Christian gets God to be a part of things, and without prayer it is not guaranteed that God will be a part of it.
Don't keep it for long
When angry, the first thing to do is to get rid of the angry feeling. The given instructions are that the Christian's anger is to be put away before the sun sets for the day.
This does not mean that you are to do what you can to stop the sun from moving. It is saying that before the night comes the Christian is better served by having already calmed himself from his anger while the sun was still up.
