Pent Up Anger

"Be angry, but do not sin; do notanger8 let the sun go down on your anger."

                                 -Ephesians 4:26

For Reflection:

Scientific research proves the wisdom of this passage. The psychological effects of lack of forgiveness and pent-up anger causes real physical problems. To what extent have I seen or experienced this reality? What positive steps can I take today to rid myself of this anger?
