9-Step Devotional: First-Aid for Anger

ONE

What color does your bitterness look like?

TWO

What animal does your resentment look like?

THREE

Grab a great big pot, put it over your head, and scream into it!

FOUR

Delete the lies from the pit of hell that you are a loser, unloveable, and never good enough.

FIVE

Announce the truth about yourself that contradicts each lie.

SIX

Breathe slowly, deeply for 5-10 minutes- concentrating on breathing only and nothing else.

SEVEN

Next let angry images and thoughts pass through you and out of you with each breath as you continue to breathe slowly and deeply.

EIGHT

Imagine you forgave the person and journal 3 sentences about how your body feels? Now pretend you didn’t forgive the person and journal 3 sentences about how your mind feels?

NINE

Decide which choice- to forgive or not forgive- works best for your body and your mind!

“Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11)
