An important topic, written specifically to Christians with heavy references to scripture and prayer. Yet I think everyone can benefit from its topic and research.
Anger is the opposite of love. "Love draws you toward the person; anger sets you against the person."
"We can't control our bodily reactions; however, we can control our mental and physical responses to anger."
"Anger is like a red light flashing on the dash of a car. It indicates that something needs attention."
"...anger is to motivate us to take positive, loving action to seek to set the wrong right..."
"...restraining our immediate response is extremely important in establishing new patterns."
"'Anger' is one letter short of "danger." Author Unknown"
Sharing information (how you are feeling) rather than judgment is the 1st step in processing distorted (perceived) anger.
Focus on the situation that sparked anger emotion, rather than on the person.
"Anger was designed to be a visitor, never a resident, in the human heart."
"...we can learn from the past, and the other is that the past often affects our present behavior."
"Forgiveness is not a feeling; it is a commitment to accept the person in spite of what he or she has done. It is a decision not to demand justice but to show mercy..."
"Do not teach your children never to be angry; teach them how to be angry and sin not. Lyman Abbott"
"The call of God is that we will trust Him in the darkness as we trusted Him in the light. He has not changed, even though our circumstances have been painfully altered."
