Among the vast array of emotional propensities allotted to humans, there is one that has been a real cause for concern. We call it anger. It also goes by other names and expressions, such as losing a temper, having a short fuse, etc. In all, anger can be a serious issue for humans.
The emotion of anger is one that is too easily manipulated against the righteous ways of God. James speaks in his epistle about how our anger can never work with the righteousness of God. (James 1:20). When God uses the emotion of anger, it is to bring His righteousness into perspective and make a judgment in His justice. When we humans become angry, though, only a drop in the ocean does so with a righteous focus.
Anger is so dangerous and difficult for us to control, and that’s why it’s best to avoid it as much as possible. Yes, you may point out that the Bible says to be angry but not to let the sun set on your anger (Ephesians 4:26). That is true. However, the question is, “How confident are you in controlling it and not becoming a victim of it if you entertain it in the first place?”
Many people have been cheap victims of the aftermath of uncontrolled anger. It would do us good to flee from it altogether, just as our verse today advises.

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for making me in Your image and likeness. You have poured so much of Yourself into me, and I am thankful. I pray, dear Lord, that by Your grace, You separate me from the evil repercussions of anger and wrath. Help me not be easily offended, and even when I am, help me to overcome the negative reactions inspired by anger, in Jesus' name. Guide me, Holy Spirit, and give me the level of self-control I need to be the person You want me to be. 
In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
