Persevering love (1 Corinthians 3:5)
Anger is the most misunderstood and misapplied of all human emotions.
How can we tame our temper?
1. Deciding to control your anger.
(1) Anger is a choice. (2) Be determined to control your anger (Proverbs 29:11). “A fool reveals all his anger, but a wise man restrains it.”
2. Remember the price you pay when you express your anger (Proverbs 29:22, 15:18, 14:17, 11:29).
(1) Remembering the cost of uncontrolled anger will give you powerful motivation to control it. Anger can lead to all kinds of transgression (Proverbs 29:22). “He that is easily provoked stirs up strife” (Prov. 15:18). A impatient person shows foolishness (Proverbs 14:29).
(2) What do you lose when you get angry? You lose your reputation. I get sick. People don't respond well to you. What you get from anger is only temporary gratification, and in the long run it destroys your relationship. So, before you get angry, you need to remember the cost.
3. Think before you react.
(1) If you can control your words, you can control your anger (Proverbs 29:11).
(2) Withholding is a good solution to anger (Ephesians 4:26).
⑶ Try to understand the story. Analyze (Proverbs 19:11).
⑷ If you are angry, one of the causes is hurt, frustration, or fear (anxiety).
※If your self-consciousness is dictated by how others judge you, you will probably always have to be angry. When someone gets mad at you, usually we get angry together and fight back. I have no pity for those who get angry. Pray (Psalm 141:3). “Set a watch over my mouth, O LORD, and keep the door of my lips.”
※When you drink, you lose all inhibitions and you fill your head with thoughts you would not have thought of without drinking (Proverbs 20:1). Drunk puts you in a dangerous state of being able to react without thinking.
4. Release your anger properly
(1) There are right and wrong ways to express anger. Most people express their anger in a way that has consequences that are far from the goals they want to achieve. It has no effect (Proverbs 15:1).
(2) What is the best way to manage anger? The world encourages methods of restraint, repression and expression. But do not suppress, do not suppress, do not express. Confess
5. Create a new pattern
(1) Change the way you think (Romans 12:2). What is the behavior of this generation that should not be imitated? There are three things: to suppress, to express, and to repress. Thoughts affect feelings.
(2) The only thing you can do in a relationship with an angry person is to change yourself.
6. Relying on God's help.
(1) Your relationship and intimacy with Jesus Christ determine the degree of perseverance in your life (Romans 15:5).
(2) When the Spirit of God is in us, the Holy Spirit fills us with love and joy, peace and patience (Galatians 5:22-23). “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Luke 6:45).
