Self-defeating Anger

When you are angry, do not sin, and be sure to stop being angry before the end of the day. Do not give the devil a way to defeat you. - Ephesians 4:26-27

When you allow yourself to become angry, you are certain to defeat at least one person: yourself. When you allow the minor fustrations of everyday life to hijack your emotions, you do harm to yourself and to your loved ones. So today and every day, guard yourself against the kind of angry thinking that inevitably takes a toll on your emotions and your relationships.

Prayer from the Blogger:
Heavenly Father,
Today, I relinquish my emotions to You. I pray that You would take charge of them, my anger in. Keep my anger from destroying my relationships, including the realtionship I have with You.
Amen

Digging Deeper:
Read the following passage -

Ephesians 4:25-28

New Century Version (NCV)
25 So you must stop telling lies. Tell each other the truth, because we all belong to each other in the same body.[a]26 When you are angry, do not sin, and be sure to stop being angry before the end of the day. 27 Do not give the devil a way to defeat you. 28 Those who are stealing must stop stealing and start working. They should earn an honest living for themselves. Then they will have something to share with those who are poor.

Challenge:
Don't let your anger get the beset of you.
