1. Do Not Get Angry

When you find yourself in a situation where your temper is rising remind yourself of anger management Bible verses like the following as you take deep breaths to calm yourself down:

Do not be angry and turn away from rage. (Psalm 37:8)

Whoever does not control his own spirit is like a broken down city without walls. (Proverbs 25:28) 

Man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires. (James 1:20)

2. Do Not Talk 

Do not talk to the people who are making you angry until you have your temper under your control. 

Instead of talking to the people who are trying to make you angry, talk to God silently in your heart.

When your temper is under your control, respond calmly to the situation by speaking gently because  A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1-2)

We can see a good example of this when David was very angry because of what Nabal had done to him and he was going to kill all the men in his homestead because Nabal's wife Abigail went to see David and said to him, "Please forgive this trespass for God will certainly prepare for you an enduring house because you fight the battles of the Lord... And it shall come to pass that when God has done all the good that He has spoken concerning you that there will be no grief to you or offense because you have shed blood without cause or avenged yourself." (1 Samuel 25:28-31)
