Christian Anger Management
 |
The instructions for Christian anger management can be found throughout the Bible, especially in the writings of the Proverbs and the Psalms. It is using these guidelines that Christians are to set living examples for the world so that it becomes a more ordered and peaceful place.
The instructions are few, but when you go from place to place they are worded differently. Looking at the big picture though, the meaning of what is said is left unchanged.
We will look quickly at six of them.
Avoid anger
As you read the Bible you will see why this instruction is a part of the Christian anger management plan. Two immediate reasons that are given are that firstly, anger leads to sin, and second it puts you in danger of God’s judgment.
Let things go
Allow people to get away with things. Just fix the damage that they had caused and leave them for God to get even with. He is fair enough to see that they reap what they sow. But you need to remember that it is by forgiving others their trespasses that we can go to God to see our trespasses forgiven.
It is 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
Like all Christian effort, Christian anger management needs to start with prayer. Some things can be done without prayer, but for it to be considered a Christian event, God has to be included and praying is how a Christian gets God to be a part of things.
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 use faith to stop the sun from moving. It is telling you that as a Christian, it is in your best interest to get rid of your anger before the sun goes down.
