I am so upset with my family. I prayed on it. Did some research, this is what the Bible says I should do.

Feeling anger or frustration towards family members is a common human experience, and the Bible offers guidance on how to manage those emotions and respond in a constructive way. Here are some relevant Bible verses that may provide comfort and encouragement in dealing with anger towards family:

1. Ephesians 4:26-27 (NIV):

"In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."

- This passage encourages us to deal with our anger promptly and not to allow it to fester.

2. Colossians 3:13 (NIV):

"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."

- This verse emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, reminding us that we are called to forgive others as God has forgiven us.

3. James 1:19-20 (NIV):

"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."

- This encourages us to listen and reflect before reacting in anger.

4. Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV):

"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift."

- This highlights the importance of reconciliation and prioritizing relationships over rituals.

5. Proverbs 15:1 (NIV):

"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

- This verse reminds us that our words can either escalate or de-escalate a situation.

6. Romans 12:18 (NIV):

"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone."

- This encourages us to strive for peace in our relationships, doing what we can to maintain harmony.

7. 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV):

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

- Taking your feelings of anger and frustration to God can provide comfort and help you process those emotions.

N Reflecting on Your Feelings

Consider spending time in prayer or reflection, asking for guidance on how to handle your feelings and restore harmony within your family. Remember that it's okay to feel angry, but how you choose to respond can make a significant difference in your relationships.
