Of course sometimes we cannot avoid confrontations.  We live in a high-tension world.  But the passage above tells us that we should not let the sun go down on our anger.  In other words, we need to get over it quickly. The apostle Paul tells us that we can get angry without sinning.  Here are a few ways to do that: 1.  Forgive the person as soon as possible.  2. Ask God and the person to forgive you if you added to the confrontation.  3. Take the high road and have a positive attitude even if you have been harmed.  4.  Be slow to speak if you are angry.  It may be better to come back later to express your feelings.  5.  Be patient and understanding with the person who angered you.  6.  Move on and seldom look back.  It is okay to be angry, but it is not okay to sin because sin brings on a new set of problems.

 If none of these work, get a punching bag and punch until you are too tired to be mad (just kidding-smile)!
