Stored Anger (2)

Friday October 21, 2016

How has stored anger been a problem in my life?  How have I addressed this problem?  What might I do differently to experience more success in not sinning in my anger?  As we go forward in recovery we can avoid the harmful effects of storing anger by practicing some simple principles. 


1) Instead of trying to get others to understand us, we need to try to understand where others might be coming from when they behave in a particular way.  God’s word directs us, “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.” (Romans 12:3 NIV) 

2) We’ll see positive changes when we practice the “PUT OFF” and “PUT ON” principle: “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” (Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV) 


3) Practice looking for God’s help and encouragement rather than getting discouraged when things are not as you would have them.  Remember God is able to make you stand firm in Christ as you go forward in life. “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” (Philippians 1:6 NLT)




It’s time to empty the stored anger that’s been packed away in the dark places of our soul.  God is ready and willing to comfort and heal us.  God is faithful and will show us a safe and healthy way to handle challenging situations and relationships.  With God’s help, and our resolve to live in the power of God’s unfailing love, the oppression of resentment and anger can be removed from us.
