Any person capable of angering you becomes your master. He can anger you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him. -Epictetus-
Get on top of your anger with Christian anger management audio books.
When you are really angry about something another person has done, it totally consumes you. Your adrenaline skyrockets and your mind races a million miles an hour trying to think of some way to make them pay.

The natural fleshly response is to hurt them the way they have hurt you. What you don’t realize is that all the time spent thinking of ways to get revenge wreaks much more havoc in your own life than in the life of the other person, and you can never get t
hat valuable time back.
When you are consumed with anger, the important things that really need doing get swept aside. You lose your ability to think in a rational manner and many times do things that you regret when you have had time to cool down.
The longer you let anger consume you the harder it is to let go of the pride that comes with it. You feel justified in keeping it because the other person has truly wronged you and they should make it right, but may refuse to do so.
Anger slowly erodes the stable foundation of your life. It starts to cloud your thinking about everyday situations that don’t have anything to do with what you are angry about. This world can be very cruel, and people don’t always care what they say or who they hurt. Some of them are only concerned with getting their way no matter who they have to steamroll over to do it.
If you happen to get in the way, then you are a casualty.
You always have a choice as to whether you let anger control your life. It may seem easier in the moment of hurt to wallow in it for awhile than it does to take control of your thinking and tell yourself that you won’t be consumed or controlled by it.
Give the whole thing to God and ask Him to help you forgive the other person. He is a master at forgiveness because He practices it probably millions of times every day.
Psalms 103: 10-12
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
If you are a Child of God, and you ask His forgiveness, He has the ability to instantly forgive you and forget what you have done. When you travel east, you can continue in that direction indefinitely. You will never go west until you purposely change directions; but if you go north, you WILL eventually have to go south.
God forgives you totally, and he wants you to do the same for others. He wants you to realize that what you are doing is the best thing for your future. If you hold on to the anger, it can eventually destroy you.
Ask God to help you forgive the other person when you can’t do it by yourself. He can supernaturally work in your life to give you peace and joy instead of feeling hate or bitterness. That does not mean that the other person won’t suffer any consequences, because each of us will always reap what we have sown at some point in the future.
Forgiveness is just making the choice to let it go and let God handle the consequences. Don’t let anger become master of your life and rob you of valuable time that could be spent doing much better things.
