Anger & Conflict
Talk to Jesus About Anger
Biblical wisdom for managing anger, conflict and resentment
“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
— James 1:19-20
Anger is not inherently sinful — Jesus himself drove out the moneychangers in the temple with righteous fury. The question is not whether you feel anger, but what you do with it. 'In your anger, do not sin.' (Ephesians 4:26). The feeling is not the problem. The action can be.
Unresolved anger is one of the most destructive forces in human relationships. It calcifies into resentment, which hardens into bitterness, which eventually poisons everything it touches. The Bible is remarkably clear-eyed about this process — and equally clear about the antidote.
Bringing your anger to Jesus — honestly, without cleaning it up — is itself a form of surrender. He can help you understand its roots, apply scripture to its specifics, and find a path toward the peace that 'passes all understanding.'
