Five correct ways to deal with anger:
1. Suppress. Restrain; subdue the negative expression (Prov. 29:11; Prov. 17:14; Prov. 20:3).
2. Assess. Evaluate the situation objectively.
a. Consider the other person’s perspective.
b. Consider your contribution to the problem (Matt. 7:3-5; James 1:19).
3. Confess. “Say the same thing as God” (I John 1:9).
4. Process. Proceed to make it right.
a. “Turn the other cheek” (Matt. 5:39).
b. Gentle answer (Prov. 15:1).
c. Meekness (Eph. 4:2; I Peter 3:15).
d. Forgiveness (Matt. 18:22; Col. 3:13).
e. Give a blessing (I Peter 3:9).
5. Access. In computer terminology this means “to connect with,” “to communicate with.” The foregoing behavioral expressions must be a result of the Christian having 'accessed' with God (1 Peter 2:23).
