Anger It Hurts You and It Hurts Me

Anger is a trap of the enemy. He wants to get you out of position to stop God's blessing. Life is about winning.

A good example of staying in position would be the game of baseball. If God is the pitcher and you are the catcher, you have to be in position and stay in position in order to catch the ball. The game of life is going on right now. Are you in position for God to throw you a fastball blessing?

Here are ten keys to help you deal with anger and keep you in position with God:

1. Delay taking any action when you are angry.
2. Identify the true cause of your anger.
3. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you when dealing with anger.
4. Evaluate if your anger is legitimate.
5. Pray for the people who hurt you.
6. Choose to pass over an issue in order for the issue to pass.
7. Be willing to forgive.
8. Deal with your feelings of inferiority and your insecurities.
9. Stop trying to be the "great authority" or the "all-knowing" person.
Ask God for help.
