The instructions for Christian anger management can be found throughout the Bible, especially in the writings of the Proverbs and the Psalms. It is using these guidelines that Christians are to set living examples for the world so that it becomes a more ordered and peaceful place.

The instructions are not plentiful, but from place to place the wording is different. However, the meaning of what is said is not changed.

We will look quickly at six of them.

Keep away from anger

When reading the Bible you will understand why this is a part of the Christian anger management plan. Two main reasons are that anger leads to sin, and anger also puts a person in the danger of God's judgment.

Let things go

Let people get away with things. If they have caused you any damages just fix it and leave them up to God to get even with. Under his power they will reap what they sow. However, forgiving others their trespasses against us is a big part of the plan in which we expect to have our trespasses forgiven.

It is still sin

Let's say that someone makes you as mad as a hornet and you go and cuss them out, or do some other thing to relieve your hurt feelings.

The truth is that something wrong in God's eyes has just taken place. The fact that these people bothered with you first and made you angry does not matter. You are expected to be cool all the time, and losing your cool can get you into trouble.

Pray

Like all Christian effort, Christian anger management needs to start with prayer. Some things can be done without prayer, but for it to be considered a Christian event, God has to be included and praying is how a Christian gets God to be a part of things.

Don't keep it for long

When angry, the first thing to do is to get rid of the angry feeling. The given instructions are that the Christian's anger is to be put away before the sun sets for the day.

This does not mean that you are to do what you can to stop the sun from moving. It is saying that before the night comes the Christian is better served by having already calmed himself from his anger while the sun was still up.
