Proverbs 19:11. The best way to deal with most anger is by thinking before acting. Most anger is driven by pride and selfishness. Most anger is not pleasing to God.

Proverbs 19:19. It is challenging dealing with a friend that is continuously getting into trouble because of their anger. They get into fights; they get fired; they get arrested; they lose good will with everyone that is around them. As a friend you think the right thing to do is bail them out every time they get into trouble.

Proverbs 16:32. All of us have trouble controlling our anger at one time or another. The way to stop anger is to control it within and not just suppress it from displaying outwardly to others.

Proverbs 15:1. All of us deal with anger every day. The question is do we deal with it in a way that is pleasing to God. When someone is shouting at us, do we attempt to drown out that shouting with our own shouting. When someone cuts in front of us while we are driving, do we then cut in front of them in anger. When someone gets angry with us, do we get angry with us.

Proverbs 14:29. Anger is not necessarily bad, but it does need to be controlled. Proverbs 14:29 says, “He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.” Whenever we get angry at someone or something, we need to look at the source of the anger.

Proverbs 12:16. All of us get angry. What is important is how do we control your anger. Not all anger is bad, but uncontrolled anger results in bad things. The Bible tells us that fools do not control their anger, but will act in anger whenever anger presents itself.

Proverbs 7:25. Many of us fall into temptation and lust that leads us to live an unhappy life. Being out of the will of God and following our own lusts leads to self-destruction, disappointment, and dissatisfaction. A lustful heart can never be satisfied. Many strong people have subcombed to their lusts and have ended up leading a very unhappy life.

Proverbs 20:9. Many people seek perfection in everything that they do . Most perfectionists lead very unhappy lives because perfection is impossible without God. Only God is perfect. Proverbs 20:9 says, “Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?”.

Proverbs 3:5. Until we are willing to put our trust in God, we cannot sustain a passion for life. Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” If we only lean on our own understanding, we will become disappointed in life. Only through God, our Creator, can we have purpose and passion for life.

Proverbs 23:17. Many people never find their passion in life because they are looking in the wrong place. Instead of seeking God for what they should do in life, many people will seek their passion in the material possessions or other attributes that other people have in life. Seeking what others have leads to envy and disappointment in life.

Proverbs 16:9. Your heart is not always your best source for finding your passion. Many times your heart can lead you astray. Passion is a good feeling. It is where you find purpose, energy, and life. Our heart does not always lead us to good things.

Proverbs 28:14. Many of us ask the question of why am I unhappy. We look at all the circumstances of our lives to find the answer, but we find no answers. The real reason that many of us are unhappy is because we do not put God first in our lives. Believe it or not God is our Creator and He has created us to be happy and to fulfill His purpose.

Proverbs 26:16. Lazy people do not seek God for direction in their lives, nor do they seek advice from others. Lazy people think that they have all the answers. Proverbs 26:16 says, "The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render reason".

Proverbs 26:14. Sometimes lazy people give us the illusion that they are being productive members of society. They show or talk about many activities, but the problem is that there is no progress or results. Proverbs 26:14 says, “As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.”

Proverbs 24:12. If you are asking yourself “Why am I unhappy”, it may be because of you are in denial of God. Denying God can bring great unhappiness because you are denying your purpose and reason for living. Being in denial of God is a futile act that brings no satisfaction. If you have doubts about God, that is not a reason to deny Him.
