Because of its damaging effects, stored anger is a problem and needs to be addressed by those who suffer from it. Following are some principles which may help in lessening the outbursts and lead to healing of the root cause.
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)
“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)
“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)
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.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, My desire is to get rid of the stored anger that has been buried in the dark places of my soul. Show me my heart as You see it. I ask for Your comfort and healing as I deal with each issue You reveal. Amen
