15 Bible Verses About Anger Management—Help You Control Your Temper

Many times, we can’t help going mad when we have a conflict with others, or meet with something unpleasant, or feel annoyed … We know that anger isn’t in line with God’s will, but we are still riled up when something bad happens.

As a matter of fact, we are across about something just for defending our own interests, not for defending the justice to satisfy God. Thus, when others damage our self-esteem or our interests are threatened, we easily lose our temper … So, before anger, we may think about that what’s the reason for getting angry and the consequence of anger, then we can keep our temper. Also, we can pray to God and seek His help and guidance, and gradually we will control our temper.
