30 Bible Verses To Pray Against The Spirit Of Anger
It’s nearly impossible to avoid getting angry or having angry thoughts from time to time. There are numerous causes for anger in life, whether it be a recent argument with your partner, a dispute with your parents, or the loss of your job.
Whether we are dealing with a minor irritation or a dire situation, everyone struggles with anger at times. Instead of reacting with harsh words and deeds that only leave us feeling guilty and ashamed, we can pause and turn to Scripture for guidance.
If you practice religion, you might even harbor resentment toward God’s plan for you because it doesn’t necessarily line up with your own. However, allowing anger to control your thoughts and behavior will only take you down a sinful path with negative effects.
You have the power to let go of any negative thoughts, maintain your faith, and have confidence that the Lord will see to it that those who have wronged you are brought to justice. Having anger is normal, but resist letting it define who you are.
