As a teenager, you face moments when anger feels overwhelming—whether it’s from parents not understanding you, friends pushing your buttons, or teachers setting rules that seem unfair. But God’s Word says, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty” (Proverbs 16:32). True strength is not in throwing punches or shouting the loudest; it’s in keeping control when your emotions want to take over.
When anger rises, the best thing you can do is pause. Walk away, breathe, or whisper a short prayer. That pause gives God room to step in before you say or do something you’ll regret. Anger may feel powerful, but letting God’s Spirit guide you shows even greater power.
Think about what usually sparks your anger. Is it feeling disrespected, ignored, or compared to others? Knowing your triggers helps you prepare and lean on God for strength when those feelings surface. The goal is not to pretend you’re never upset but to learn how to channel that energy in ways that honor God and protect your purpose.
Self-assessment:
Do I react immediately when angry, or do I pause?
What situations at home, school, or with friends usually trigger my anger?
Has anger ever made me act in a way that pulled me away from my purpose?
Do I ask God daily for His Spirit to help me handle my emotions?
