Divorce To Healing: 31 Days Of Healing And Wholenessنموونە

"Anger"

One of the first and most destructive emotions that is experienced in any failing marriage is anger. Believe me, you probably have a perfectly good reason to go off on your husband or wife. They cheated, abused, abandoned, or destroyed that which no one has a right to destroy. You have the facts and it is time to let it out!!

Let me help reign yourself in. As much as you have a right to blow up, is it the best thing for you to do right now? Are you in a volatile situation? Are the children near you? Would you be in danger if you just let them have it?

You have every reason to be angry, but righteous anger is still just that; anger. There comes a time when you must heal from the pain of the hurt and learning to process the anger you feel is a large piece of the healing puzzle.
Some people will bottle things up and then explode. Others may just live a life of being resentful because they have not worked through it. Wherever you are at on the anger scale, do not hesitate to ask God how He can help you.

God gave us emotions, but He also gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us with discernment on how to manage it. Healthy anger management is vital to your healing.

BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. Ephesians 4:26-27

Survival may depend on how you handle your anger. Every war has its battlefield, some which may leave you without cover and vulnerable to the enemy. Don’t give the enemy any kind of advantage.

Prayer
God, I need your help right now to deal with the wounds that have hurt me. Take my anger and bring me wisdom on how to speak, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
