Scripture for Tonight
Ephesians 4:26 (NIV):
“In your anger do not sin.”
“Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.”
Ephesians 4:26 (NLT):
“And don’t sin by letting anger control you.”
Devotional Thought
Anger is not always loud. Sometimes it is silent. A cold shoulder. A short response. A mind replaying the offense.
Scripture does not pretend men never feel anger. It commands what to do with it.
Anger becomes sin when it controls you. When it drives your words. When it fuels bitterness. When it hardens your heart. When it gives the enemy a foothold.
Tonight, refuse to carry anger into tomorrow. That does not mean every conflict is solved before bed. It means you release vengeance. It means you surrender your right to stay heated. It means you choose forgiveness and wisdom, even if the conversation must continue later.
Ask yourself this evening. What am I still holding onto? Where has anger started to shape my tone or my thoughts? What step of humility do I need to take tonight?
God gives grace to men who release the grip.
Questions to Consider
- What am I still holding onto?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, search my heart tonight. Reveal where anger has taken root in me. Help me release bitterness and refuse to let anger control my words or actions. Give me humility to forgive and wisdom to address conflict in a way that honors Christ. Fill me with peace as I rest tonight. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Encouragement for Tonight
You are not controlled by the flesh. In Christ, you are empowered by the Spirit, forgiven by grace, and secure in God’s love.
