Do you have something you struggle with everyday? We all do, rather we to admit it or not. I have to admit I struggle with anger and frustration. I've been praying and reading my scriptures every day. It's getting better as the days go on. I know that is all thanks to my wonderful Lord and Savior!
When you struggle with something you don't just look up a verse once and think "Okay, I got this now." NO, you have to work on it EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!
I get angry and frustrated sometimes easily. Rather it be something just not going my way, my kids not listening, found out I lost 20 bucks (which has happened unfortunately), or I just waking up on the wrong side of the bed.
The Bible says in Mark 3:5
He looked around around at them angrily, because he was deeply disturbed by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man "Reach out your hand." The man reached out his hand, and it became normal again!
Anger itself is not a sin. It's what your angry at and what you do with your anger. Think about it, when your angry what do you do? Do you punch walls? Throw the most heavy thing you can think of across the room (or at someone)? Scream and cuss till your face turns red?
We all can do some crazy, sometimes harmful things when we are angry. But we should take what Jesus did as an example. Jesus was angry about the Pharisees' uncaring attitudes. But he did something constructive with his anger. He healed the man's hand. When we are angry we need to take a deep breath and do something constructive. Find good solutions. Don't tear people apart. You are not only hurting them, but also yourself. God made us to be loving and care for one another. Not to destroy people!
So the next time you are angry, try to think through the eyes of Jesus. Ask yourself "What Would Jesus Do" and pray for help with your problem. Read your verses everyday and I promise you my friends, you will find help in your everyday problems. With God NOTHING is impossible!!
