How to Study the Bible - Bible Study Made Simple

Lord Hear My Prayer... When I'm Angry


Listen Later

Anger isn’t automatically sinful, but it can quickly lead to sin if left unchecked. Through Psalm 4:4, Proverbs 14:29, and Ephesians 4:26–27, Nicole unpacks what Scripture says about handling anger in a healthy, God-honoring way. She shares how anger can mask deeper emotions like hurt, disappointment, or betrayal, and why inviting God into those raw moments is key.

Continuing the Lord, Hear My Prayer series, Nicole explores one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—human emotions: anger. Listeners will discover how to pause, reflect, and search their hearts before responding—and how to prevent giving the enemy a “foothold” in their lives.

🧠 Main Takeaways

  • God can handle your emotions—even when you can’t.
    You don’t need to hide your anger from Him.

  • Anger itself is not sin, but it’s dangerous territory.
    Scripture calls us to “be angry and do not sin” (Psalm 4:4; Ephesians 4:26).

  • Quick-tempered reactions lead to foolishness.
    Proverbs 14:29 reminds us patience brings understanding, but a hot temper leads to regret.

  • Anger needs an outlet—but not a destructive one.
    Turn it over to God for correction and direction instead of lashing out or turning it inward.

  • Anger often covers softer emotions.
    Naming what’s really underneath can help you heal.

  • Unchecked anger gives the devil a foothold.
    Don’t let bitterness, cynicism, or resentment take root.
