James 1:19-20, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."
Proverbs 15:1, "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger."
Ephesians 4:31-32, "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Psalm 37:8, "Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil."
Matthew 6:14, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:"
These are just a few of the verses found in the Bible that deal with anger. I think the Spirit led these ones to pop out at me.
I firmly believe that memory verses give us power. After all, how did Jesus meet the devil's temptations?
Very easily. He said, "It is written..."
Amen!
