Letting Go of Anger
Discover more about surrendering your anger to God as you read these 5 reflections from Our Daily Bread.
Think Before You Speak
Cheung was upset with his wife for failing to check the directions to the famous restaurant where they hoped to dine. The family had planned to round out their holiday in Japan with a scrumptious meal before catching the flight home. Now they were running late and would have to miss that meal. Frustrated, Cheung criticized his wife for her poor planning.
Later Cheung regretted his words. He had been too harsh, plus he realized that he could have checked the directions himself and he had failed to thank his wife for the other seven days of great planning.
Many of us may identify with Cheung. We are tempted to blow up when angry and to let words fly without control. Oh, how we need to pray as the psalmist did: “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips” (Ps. 141:3).

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Letting go of anger can often be difficult but being angry will not get you anywhere generally speaking. Once you said something you can't take the words back. You may apologize but depending on what was said the receiving party will remember those words for a long long time. Thanks for the post Brother.

Here's One Way I Learned To Deal With Both Anger & Disappointment.
Told To Me By Our Senior Of Brothers JIM, While Living With Him In Central America.
"When You Have A Problem And CAN Do Something About It, By All Means DO It.
If There's NOTHING You Can Do About It; I'd Suggest You Learn To Live With It In Peace,
As There's No Other Logical Choice TO Make."
It Sure Didn't Take Long To Figure This One Out,
And It WORKS Too.!
