EMOTIONAL ISSUES: I'm So Angry


Icebreaker:
What kinds of things make you angry?

Overview:

Have you ever been angry but didn’t know why? I have. My mother struggled with dementia for nine years including three years in hospice care. She was stuck somewhere between reality and fantasy. She was neither dead or alive and I was mad. I was a control freak dealing with a situation I couldn’t control. God had her (and me) in His loving arms but I still had some lessons to learn. He was teaching me patience and appreciation. Get rid of anger or, better yet, get rid of the source of anger. Let the Love of God renew your mind.

Discussion:

Read Ephesians 4:17-32.

Where do we start in renewing our minds?
Why is anger so destructive?
When is anger justified?
How do we control our anger?
What are some ways to put our hands to work for good?
How can we use our words to improve situations?
Why do we put our emotions under God’s control?

Prayer:
Pray for wisdom when anger arises in our lives.
