Anger

As a dad - do you find you are angry often?

Here are some verses to reflect on that may serve you well... - Just have a read of them & then maybe try to commit them to memory... hopefully these words will pass through our noggins before we are tempted to blow a gasket! Ask God to help you ... I need His help daily!

'Better a patient man than a warrior,
a man who controls his temper than one
who takes a city'.
Proverbs 16:32

'Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires'.
James 1:19-20

"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.
Ephesians 4:26

'Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out'.
Proverbs 17:14

'A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger'.
Proverbs 15:1

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
Proverbs 12:19
