I'm certain that we all experience the temptation to allow our anger to lead to sin quite frequently. For the average person this battle is one which can be won with prayer, God's grace, and patient practice. However, there are those individuals for whom the conquest of this temptation exists as a seemingly impossible task. For those individuals afflicted by trauma from experiences had during childhood or adolescence, whether they be growing up in an alcoholic family, or sexual abuse, etc., the ability to maintain control over one's emotional state can be often beyond ones perceived resources. For those individuals so afflicted, do not give up hope. God knows your struggle. He knows the insults that have brought you to your present state. He loves you and will provide. During these times the feeling of being alone can be overwhelming and it may be difficult to maintain hope. Very often a well founded well organized church can offer a wealth of resources. With appropriate care by those trained in dealing with these types of cases, which are unfortunately all too common, relief and spiritual growth can be experienced within a Christ centered approach. I would strongly suggest to anyone struggling with these issues to seek help. You are not alone. God will never allow you to lose your soul.

The Berean Christian Bible Study Resources How true the word of God is, but also it's easier to read then apply it at times.We must make ourselves apply his word in every area of life. I believe their is times to be angry, however one must obey God in this and deal with the issues correctly. I like to add:Ephesians 4:26 26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. God bless ?
