Afternoon Bible Verse

A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.

Afternoon Bible study

Jesus taught us to be calm in the storm. He didn't give in to anger when people spit in His face or called Him names. Whereas many people would rage in the midst of the attacks He faced, Jesus remained calm and acted the way He wants us to act. We must be try our hardest to be calm in difficult times and when people turn on us. Don't give in to hatred, for it only leads to more hatred and anger, which in turn leads to sin. That's not what God wants for us.

God understands that there are trying times in our lives where enemies test us, but in order to be more Christlike, we must turn the other cheek. Pray for those who give in to anger and hope that they will find peace much like Jesus did.

Afternoon Prayer

Father, please help me refrain from anger and hatred when those harmful emotions threaten to overwhelm me. Please bring peace into my life and help me always turn the other way when I am confronted by hate. Please also help those who are led by anger that they may see the goodness of the Lord. Let Jesus be a role model for all. In your name I pray, Amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Verse

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. :

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

The Bible has much to say regarding our relationships with others. God created each of us, and He knows how we are wired. For some, anger can be a constant internal struggle, while others only deal with it occasionally.

When our anger has the potential to get the best of us, the Bible offers wisdom that can save us the heartache of hurting people we love—and ourselves.

In the Epistle to the Ephesians, Paul advises us that when we are angry, we should deal with those feelings as soon as possible. We can remove the opportunity for bitterness to take root in our hearts by simply asking God to help us.

When we are in the midst of frustration, we can choose to control our feelings, rather than allowing them to control us. But we are incapable of doing it on our own.

Without God's help, it is impossible to move past our frustrations and live the life of peace He offers to us. We can take our anger to God in prayer, telling Him the who, what, where, when, and how of what has occurred. In an instant, God's peace can flood our hearts, driving out the rage that is stirring inside us. This calming of our spirit allows us to confront those who have frustrated us with an attitude of forgiveness and a willingness to move forward in our relationship.

If not managed, anger has the potential to harden the heart of even the kindest person. No one is exempt from needing God to intervene on their behalf. We can ask God to examine us for any anger that has taken up residence in our hearts. He can help us process and work through even the toughest situations.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

God, only you know my innermost thoughts and feelings. You see when I am frustrated, and you know how I should handle every situation. Give me wisdom, so I don't react when I'm angry. And give me peace, even when my mind and heart are filled with rage. Thank you for the opportunity to turn to you, knowing that your love is always waiting for me. Help me to rely on you, instead of my wisdom. I don't want to sin against you when I am upset. Thank you for helping me to be mindful of my witness to others in how I react. In Jesus' name, amen.
