Praying God's Promises
Anger
I will refrain from anger
and turn from wrath; I will not fret —
it leads only to evil.
For evil men will be cut off,
but I, who hope in the Lord,
will inherit the land.
Psalms 37:8-9 Personalized


I will be as the wise man who fears the Lord
and shuns evil,
not a fool who is hotheaded and reckless.
For A quick-tempered man does foolish things.

I will speak a gentle answer,
for this turns away wrath,
and a harsh word stirs up anger.

a man who controls his temper
rather than one who takes a city.

for anger resides in the lap of fools.

my Father will not forgive my sins.
Matthew 6:14-15 Personalized

I will not take revenge,
but leave room for God's wrath,
for it is written:
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
On the contrary: If my enemy is hungry,
I will feed him; if he is thirsty
I will give him something to drink. I
will not be overcome by evil,
but will overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:18-21 Personalized

I will get rid of all bitterness,
rage and anger,
brawling and slander,
along with every form of malice.
I will be kind and compassionate to others,
forgiving others, just as in Christ God forgave me.
Ephesians 4:31-32 Personalized

For I know him who said,
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"

I will be quick to listen, slow to speak
and slow to become angry,
for my anger does not
bring about the righteous life that God desires.
