Good Morning!! Disagreements are normal and even inevitable, but did you know we could learn to use our anger constructively? Purpose in your heart that when you are feeling angry about a conflict with someone, you will not overreact, get loud .threaten, hit, curse or name call. Find a set of techniques that you can use to help diffuse the intensity of your heated moments of dialogue .and then practice being faithful using those techniques, when they are needed. A wise man controls his temper. He knows that anger causes mistakes. — Proverbs 14:29 (LTB) To begin developing these techniques, we first must know what buttons get pushed and how, recognizing how we get, and then show anger, is key to controlling it, by asking each other what is needed to control angry feelings. For example, ask, When Im losing control of my anger, what do I want, what am I missing? Time to think, or a need to be heard out without interruption? Then, how will I handle it? Stop talking, and ask to be heard or leave the room until you can regain control. Its important to let the other person know whats going on, so that they dont misunderstand your actions .remember, only you know whats going on in your head. We have been taught to think, but feelings often overwhelm and even master us. Sweet Spirit of God, help us to control our anger. Please teach us to respond wisely when our feelings of hurt and anger start to take hold. Help us to develop, and work a plan to not let anger get the best of us. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Instead of being set apart to God, many so-called Christians have become too comfortable in our society, or simply doing as the world does.
