We understand your struggle with anger and aggression, and we commend you for seeking God's help in this area. The Bible has much to say about anger and how to manage it. Let's turn to the Scriptures for guidance.
In James 1:19-20 (WEB), it is written, "So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God." This verse provides a clear path for managing anger: we should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.
Moreover, Proverbs 16:32 (WEB) states, "One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city." This underscores the importance of self-control in managing anger.
Let us pray for you:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with anger and aggression. Lord, we ask that You grant them the fruit of the Spirit, which is self-control. Help them to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, as Your Word instructs. Surround them with Your presence and protection today, and use them for Your glory. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and guide their steps according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to continually seek God's face and trust in Him. Remember, God is faithful, and He will help you overcome this struggle. As Psalm 46:1 (WEB) assures us, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of believing in Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to God and can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and eternal life.
