Do Not Let Anger Control You – By Iwalola(Lola) Ademodi Oshinowo

Several events occur every day around us, which can trigger anger within us.

Anger is an emotion that can cause a lot of damage to our relationships and health if we allow it to control our choices, speech, actions, non-actions, and overall behavior.

In our anger, we need to see how we have allowed ourselves to be controlled and preoccupied by circumstances or people. This anger can become a life-controlling problem of its own in our lives if care is not taken.

The question then is, what do we do when we are angry?

If you find yourself in this angry stage, you need to share your feelings with an understanding listener. Be aware of the harm that this anger can do to other relationships, especially to your loved ones and your health.

Just keep in mind that these angry feelings are normal a-times, but it is important to work through your feelings and let go of anger before it consumes you and cause destruction.

Personally, I run to God with my anger and tell Him about it all…I “report the situation or person” to God thereby giving it to Him, so I can move on and be able to pray.

The Word of God in Ephesians 4:26-27 (AMP) tells us;

Be angry [at sin—at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], yet do not sin; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].

LET US PRAY:

Our Loving Heavenly Father, help us to work through the emotion of anger and not allow it to control us. Help us to surrender our anger and hurt feelings to You in prayer. Thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I pray, Amen 🙏🏾

Have a blessed day ❤️

Share your love
