Forgiveness For Angry Men
Do you want to be forgiven for your anger?
This is Vince Miller.
Our text today is from Ephesians 4:31-32. It reads:
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. — Ephesians 4:31-32
There’s enough anger in our world today. You can see it and hear it everywhere. Angry people are all around you if you stop to look. And while you are free to live, act, and speak this way, doing this has a lasting impact on others. So why not address the real issue — the heart? Your heart.
Could it be that some aspects of “bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and slander” live deep within your heart? Could it be time to let it go and forgive your former spouse, your current boss, your father’s shortcomings, and maybe even the grudge you hold within yourself?
Instead, use the freedom and words you are given to “be kind and forgive.” Do so from a genuine and “tender heart.” After all, Christ showed you how to do this by first “forgiving you.” But to live this way, you are going to have to accept his forgiveness. And from deep well, you will be able to forgive others as well.
Here is your call to action today:
Accept Christ’s forgiveness for all your anger. And then forgive others like Christ forgave you.

And live all for him, who lived all in for you!
Jesus, I accept your forgiveness for all my anger and the hurt I caused others. Empower me to forgive others as you have forgiven me by the Power of Your Holy Spirit! Amen!
Thank you Jesus for giving me so many second chances. Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit which stays with me. Yes I feel convicted when I have wrongfully expressed anger, but thank you for helping me to seek forgiveness from the people I have wronged. And thank you for forgiving me and staying with me Jesus.
Why is it so hard to forgive myself??
Jesus, I pray for my brother Craig that he would see himself as you see him. I pray that he would accept forgiveness from you and extend forgiveness to himself. Jesus, we accept your death on the cross as full payment for the sins committed against us as well as the sins we have committed. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I know Jesus forgives me for all sins I have committed or ever will commit. I know it’s not an open invitation to do whatever I want, just because he’ll forgive me if I ask. The hardest thing for me, is allowing myself to forgive me for the sins or wrongs I’ve done on my life. Thank you Jesus, for your uncoditional love, mercy, and grace!
I accept Gods love for me. Thank for forgiving for all my sins. Anger, resentment, bitterness, and envy. In Jesus name, Amen. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

There are so many things I don’t know how to let god forgive me. I forgive my father, for all my stupid things I have been mad about.

It is all selfish, and it is not who I want to be.

Forgiveness of my past failures and regrets as a man of God, a husband to my former spouse, as a leader in my church by my action or inability to act in those moments that I could have acted wearing all those different hats. May God continue to make the ‘old’ me new as stated in His scripture and by His promises and truth. In Jesus Name. Amen!
God thank you for your love, patience and forgiveness. Please continue to work in and though me to heal myself and the relationships around me. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control are all fruits of the spirit that can be so difficult to come by this day and age. Help me to use these as guiding principals and help me to feel your presence during my daily struggles. Thank you Vince for these words about forgiveness and impressing on us the importance of being slow to anger and that we need to heal from the inside out before we can really be the change God wants us to be.

Well….I’m not sure what to say on this one. My main beef against anyone is their misunderstanding of a situation or me and acting like it’s fact. Failing to communicate in order to understand. They lean on their own understanding and that’s good enough for them. They make themselves the authority when their not. They discard or sweep aside those that don’t get with ‘the program’. Implying they are to be followed when all their really doing is forming a man made click. The Body of Christ does the same thing. All I really desire is if God is real, if He has a plan and if that plan can be known…. That’s what I want. It’s then a matter of where I land in the reality of His purposes. I need to extend forgiveness for sure. I just can’t sweep certain things under the rug. Even when I feel I have forgiven it’s not like some magic remedy that erases other things. Thanks Vince for these devos and I need to connect with men that know what their talking about. I don’t know you personally or anyone in this group but appreciate the chance to comment. Thanks to all the other guys involved in this devo. Peace🌺💀’s and🌈’s🌺
