An interesting habit to ponder over,a part of most of our daily life . I believe i am the most apt one to write on this topic . During my teenage days,before i came to know Jesus,my angry nature could be described with the word "TERRIBLE ". Each one in my home has been a victim of my Angry nature.The reason why i said this is,we all have EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING,my situations,problems,struggles so and so,with JESUS we dont need EXCUSES,because he has HEALING FOR U.The day i came to know the Love of Jesus,suffering of my dad on the Cross,his silence at the Cross it transformed me . This is an area that needs healing.
How man hours of our life has been wasted because of the distress caused by our anger ? Think of the hours which could have been turned beautiful with happiness and laughter ? Uncountable are the moments when we shower our temper on others. Dont be worried , We have the Divine Healer . Lets see how we can work it out with the Lord.
As usual The Holy Bible point of View :
"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ
God forgave you" Ephesians 4:13
Definitely Anger is not a good habit . It has contradictory influence on our relations,profession and personality . So how should a Jesus Youth behave :" "Let everyone be . . . slow to anger" (James 1:19) .Being in Light We are Called to LOVE.
The base of Anger i believe can be traced backed to many past situation associated with our life past experience of betrayal,jealousy,failure,being neglected,insecurity, fear of confrontation, and a feeling of being controlled by a job or other people and so on.This list is pretty interesting,some areas which could be root cause for our Anger
<strong>Injustice—</strong>
Injustice that has been done to us would create a distress which will keep on accumulation in our hearts and lead to hatred. People can't change people, only God can change people. What shall we do ? Simple pray for the OFFENDER.LOVE HIM.
<strong>Strife—</strong>
Which is hidden, repressed anger, begins with judgment, gossip, tale bearing, backbiting, and thinking too highly of one's self. Strife is often exhibited in arguing, bickering, heated disagreements, and angry undercurrents.
What shall we do ? Lets confess and seek his mercy for a heart filled with Love.Repent to god and to the ones you have hurt.
<strong>Impatience—</strong>
Often produces anger when we can't get what we want when we want it. When others impede our progress or slow us down, it is easy to become impatient. Most of us struggle with impatience on a daily basis simply because of today's fast-paced world.
What shall we Do ? Look at the CROSS,learn from his PATIENCE,seek his light.
<strong>Abuse of any kind—</strong>
Sexual, physical, verbal, emotional, or mental almost always leads to anger.Abuse do created deep wound in our hearts.Many times our Childhood experiences have a great habit.Past is Past.
What shall we do ? Submit the ones who has Abused you.Depend on the Divine Mercy and plead his grace to cleanse you by his divine Blood and Water . Chaplet of Divine Mercy is very helpful.
<strong>Unmet needs & Jealousy—</strong>
This is the reason why we have been angry at least 60% of the time. If you trust in Jesus,mark my words YOUR LIFE CAN NEVER BE GUIDED BY YOU , IT IS HIS PLAN THAT WILL GUIDE YOU FORTH.Bible assures us this:Philippians 4:19 "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." He is rich,even though Forbes might have left my Abba from the List of Richest Man ( the reason might be because he is RICH in Financial and Spiritual aspects ) . He will help you meet all the needs of your life,at the right time,with the right provisions.
If we believe that God is in control of all things (Eph. 1:11), then whatever happens to us is ultimately HIS will. So if we are angry, we are angry with God whether we admit it or not.Anger is never the solution to your problems ,The holy Bible simplifies it like this "The anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God." James 1:20 .
<strong>The Simple Approach :</strong>
<em>1.Take time to have a look at your past( an elder would be able to talk with you and guide you ) . If God is revealing areas of your life that needs healing . Confess it , repent and start a new life.
2. Holy Rosary is a precious weapon,keep it in your hand ( i know many of us are even ashamed to hold it in public),when you feel you are getting depressed pray the rosary . Pray this small prayer ." Oh divine love,control my feelings,help me love and forgive others like the way you love me " .
3. Many times Anger is a part of our Spiritual Immaturity . The perfect Solution is "STRONG PERSONAL PRAYER LIFE" and PRAY FOR HIS HOLINESS.
4.Try to think from others perspective,this will help us Love others with full heart.
5.The Holy Bible,filled with the Words of Love . Try praying on this verse 1 Corinthians 13:8 </em>

We are all called to Witness Christ ,lets WITNESS him first in our LIFE ,if we are able to do so,the upcoming Generation will have Millions of SAINTS to follow .
Ave Maria
