Dialing Down Your Anger
I have a playlist of “Worship Songs” on my iPod. When I am upset or angry, I let these songs fill my head. They never fail to calm me down.
When my iPod isn’t handy, I pray for God’s peace to wash over me. Bringing God into the whirlwind of my emotions helps calm the storm. Hearing God’s gentle voice amid all the angry thoughts in my head gives me peace that dispels my anger.
How do you control your anger when emotions run high?
