Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. (NLT) -Ephesians 4:31
Anger is a hard emotion to shake, especially when you replay it in your mind like a broken record player. Thinking through past hurts does no good and only allows bitterness to grow. When you find those thoughts running through your head, take a higher road. Don't just tolerate or manage the situation, confront it head on.

Jesus Culture - Where You Go I Go
Psalm 139:7-10
7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
But why should I fast when he is dead? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me. (NLT) -2 Samuel 12:23
King David spoke these words after his infant son died. Death is hard and we all feel the holes left behind. Anger and hurt can sometimes be byproducts of a loved one's passing. But we as Christians must believe that God can use any death for His glory, no matter how incomprehensible. Look for the good that was left behind and choose that to be your focus.
