The first thing we need to understand about anger is that is an actual physical response.

Anger as a physical response (Proverbs 29:22) So what is anger anyways? Unless we understand anger and how it works, we will have a harder time dealing with the problem.Ī. Anger is a real problem, and Jesus came to help you with your problems. It’s been said, “Either learn to control your anger or it will control you.” Trust me, you will be a happier person if you deal with the anger in your life.

As Neil Clark Warren puts it, “I get what I ask for but not what I want.” You get the immediate results that you are looking for, but you lose out on long-term fulfillment and joy. Anger is a short cut that short-circuits whole relationships and true satisfaction in life. When we get angry, we often get results – which means we are more likely to get angry again the next time around. Anger can cause physical problems – high blood pressure, heart disease, headaches, stomach problems, ulcers, colitis and insomnia have all been linked with unresolved anger.Īnger is particularly dangerous because it is self-reinforcing. If you are an angry person, that will affect you emotionally at every level. Anger can cause major life problems – loss of job, lawsuits, damage to property, damage to others it can even lead to murder. Anger can cause great damage not only in your life but in the lives of those around you.Īnger can cause relational problems – loss of marriage, loss of family, loss of friends. It’s been said that, “Anger is one letter short of danger,” and that’s a good warning to keep in mind. The Bible say, “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” (James 1:19–20) You cannot be angry and live the righteous life that God desires.Īnger is an especially big problem because it is a gateway to so many other problems.

The first thing we need to recognize is that anger is indeed a problem. So how does God help you with the problem of anger?
