Feeling Angry...

I've been walking around for the last couple of days looking just like this.  It's driving me crazy and I hate the feeling.   I searched out some verses to see what the Bible says about it.






Leviticus 19:17-18
Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
- I have said in the last few days 'I hate..'  This is so unlike me.
*Rebuke your neighbor frankly.  - This one seems hard especially when they're 'always right.'  In time though, it's coming.

Psalm 37:8
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil.
-So true... I feel nothing good from this.  I've spoken mean things, thought mean things and encouraged others in the same manner.  Uncalled for actions.

Proverbs 30:33
For as churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife
-And I wonder why I can't sleep? 

Ephesians 4:31-32
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
-Father God, I promise to work on this starting at this point.  Thank you for all the blessings you've bestowed on me and my family.  I know better than to even remotely feel this way and I pray for your power to be merciful and kind and to change my heart back to the one I know I have.
