My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
PARAPHRASE
Remember, everyone needs to listen fully and completely first, then take the time to form the appropriate and fruitful response because it you just allow your flesh to snap back, then your anger prevents you from living the life Gd has planned for you.
APPLY
I noted the slow to become angry. I'm patient, but I'm the kind of patient that is irritated while being patient and then when I'm no longer patient, I'm full on angry. I ned to be completely at peace as I am patient.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to express my emotions in an appropriate manner so that I don't end up bottling them up , suppressing them until they overflow in anger. Teach me how to prevent myself from becoming angry.
