The prophet Nathan came to king David and talked to him using a little story. He said to him that there was a very poor man with two kids They were so poor that their only possession was a little sheep which they raised as part of their family. There was also a very rich man, with thousands of sheeps, and he offered a meal to a visitant that came over, but instead of taking one of his many sheeps, he took the only and beloved little sheep of the poor family.
When David heard that, the Bible says that his anger roused against that rich man and said that he deserves to die and must pay to that poor man back with interests. Then, Nathan said to him: "You're that man".
Realize this: All what David was angry at was inside of him. The only reason David was angry with the rich man was because he saw himself reflected in him. And the same happens to us.
Anger is just a way to express disconformity, annoyance and/or disagreement with something. Other people express it in a different way: frustration, impatience, stress, despair, and they reflect it by not forgiving, ice law, rudeness, screams, hitting things, etc.
So then, the first step to be free from anger is, without a doubt, RECOGNIZING THAT YOU ALONE ARE THE ONLY RESPONSABLE OF YOUR ANGER.
Stop blaming on your spouse, on the government, on what happened to you, on your boss, on any other circumstance, etc., and start to take responsibility of yourself, of your own attitudes and reactions, and you'll see that, little by little, while you learn to find the help you need on the presence of your Heavenly Father and on His Word, He'll start to do what you couldn't do for years. Over time, it won't affect you anymore what it normally affected you, and maybe you won't even realize when that happen. Little by little, others will note it and say: "You are different! How did you get to change?", so you'll be able to testify what Jesus did in you.
I hope this may help you =)
