Don't Stay Angry
Cease from anger and forsake wrath; fret not yourself--it tends only to evildoing. Psalm 37:8
The Word tells us another way to resist temptation: "When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. Leave no (such) room of foothold for the devil (give no opportunity to him)" (Ephesians 4:26-27).
Paul said that we should forgive people to keep Satan from gaining an advantage over us
2 Corinthians 2:10-11 When you forgive someone for what he has done, I forgive him too. For when I forgive--if, indeed, I need to forgive anything--I do it in Christ's presence because of you, in order to keep Satan from getting the upper hand of us; for we know what his plans are.
If somone offends you, get over it quickly so you won't leave open a door for the devil. It is a sin to hold anger and bitterness, so never go to sleep mad. If you forgive everyone before you fall asleep, freedom from wrong attitudes in your hear will help you start your day right the next morning.
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
