The moment you feel justified with anger, is the moment you will discover the consequences.  A moment of anger is normal.  Holding onto that anger is a bad place to go.

God has the power to transform who you are.  By submitting yourself to that transforming power, He will help you get there.  Your heart will change has His love and mercy takes possession.

Anger is a dangerous emotion.  It has the power to determine a person's fate.  Don't let it become a constant in your life.

How about an attitude adjustment for starters.  Build a heart of gratitude and understand that He is your rock, your place of shelter, and your light to a better place.

Anger, bitterness and resentment blocks your view of what God has planned for your life.  It's blinding and that lack of connectivity can put your time on earth in a bad place.  Ask God to help you see a little better.  No glasses needed.

God has a plan for your life.  You, on the other hand, might have different plans.  God does allow us to sidestep every now and then, but he always waits for us to get back to what He has planned.  Stay on the path.

You can avoid those telemarketers by blocking their number.  You might try blocking God, but he will be patient, waiting for you to become more trusting and confident.

Anger expressed is like a pressure valve releasing that pressure.  Expression is essential.  Turning to God in the process is also essential to keep from going down the wrong path.

Do you have a right to be angry?  Yeah, you do.  But anger acted out without God by your side is a disaster waiting to happen.  It's a little more than counting to 10.  Instead, take 10 seconds to check in with Him.

God has a different way of looking at life, than the way, we do.  Anger blocks that path to see how a problem can be solved.  Rely on God's eyes to help you see a little better.

Disappointment is connected to anger.  And why not?  You get angry when things don't go your way.  But anger can turn a bad situation into a disaster.

Ok, God, I'm here.  What can I do for you.  Ever had a problem understanding why you're here?  You're not alone.

It's simple.  God does not act according to our aassessment of a situation, but he does what is best for everyone.  You might disagree.  But dig a little deeper and discover why He has the best option.

The good news is that God has paved the way and prepared our lives for taking the best path.  When we get stuck, He is right beside us to move to a better place.  Lean on God when it's time to make that little, or BIG decision.

God saved Jonah's life and Jonah expressed his thanks with a promise to God.  Yes, you should always honor a promise.  It defines who you are.
