Know the cause and course of your anger. Anger can quickly lead to resentment, which ends in bitterness. Learn to empathize. Imagine the negative results from your anger and surrender your right to retaliate. Revenge must be avoided.
Forgiveness is a choice that lets go of resentfulness and bitterness.
Admit your feelings to God and always pray for direction. In closing, I want to leave this piece that is so applicable to our thoughts about anger. There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
