As human beings, we can often feel very intense emotions of annoyance, bitterness, anger, and even true wrath. If you find yourself struggling, here are seven scriptures for when you’re angry.
Proverbs 16:32
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
James 1:19-21
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and , and clamour, and , be put away from you, with all : And be ye one to another, tenderhearted, one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Matthew 18:15-16
Moreover if thy brother shall against thee, go and him his between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three every word may be established.
1 Thessalonians 5:8-9
But let us, who are of the day, be , putting on the of and love; and for an helmet, the of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to , but to obtain by our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:19-21
Dearly beloved, not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but evil with good.
