I'm dealing with bad anger, when someone says.
something that makes me mad i can't really hold it inside.
I want to get rid of it, And i pray to god about it.
Like when i get into an argument with a family.
member, "it's difficult when i get frustrated.
I don't want to take my anger out on people,
And i don't want to deal with it.

Please pray for me.

Hey I struggled with this when I was younger and it is possible to beat anger, it requires you to step back and walk the steps to calm yourself down because it is really a matter of achieving self-control. I just read from your words you do not want to deal with it, and I cannot stress that we are only going to hurt ourselves if we continue to deny the facts that we have some sin and that it is causing us to stumble. I know you do not like to be angry, but you must acknowledge your anger and what is causing it and also that you are not doing anything about that. God will help you, but also make the steps to let him help you, give him something to work with you know? Cooperating with the Spirit and his word will enable you to achieve the wisdom and growth in whatever you are lacking. So just work with the spirit on growing and have a good time.

What I used to do was that sometimes my mom would make me angry because I was hostile and resentful towards her admonitions and advice, so in the parking lot at the farmers market, I remember getting out of the car and then taking deep breaths before walking into the farmers market. You know all those suggestions like take deep breaths and count to 10 and what not? They are really good ways of starting the self control battle, I struggled with that but if you sincerely deny yourself and ventilate in a healthy form without expressing anger, you begin to win the fight.

I learned also do not express your anger, never to express your anger, I shouldn't do that at all because what happens is that if you manifest it, you are letting it out, you must pacify your anger like it says in the proverbs, that a wise man or a man of understanding pacifies their anger (Proverbs 29:11). Enduring the stimulus helps a lot, because when you endure the stimulus you get a handle over it.

I also want to keep exhorting and encouraging you to fight the sin with diligence and skill, waging the war skillfully in the path to mastery and Christ-likeness. Don't feel down or depressed for the losses and mistakes, there is a chance for redemption, that the Lord will redeem you and restore and replenish you. You are working on the battle, and God believes in your success and so do I. I hope you are blessed.

Praise God you want to deal with it now, believe me, if you can't get control of that, it will just lead to misery, I have lost friends, and much over anger, but God will by His grace, and you pursing Him

I suggest you turn over the trigger situations to God, as well as carnal anger. Let me remind you that anger will happen, just as trigger situations can, do, and will. "Overcome evil with good," by the grace and wisdom of God. Practice thanksgiving and share appreciation, and remember God is the greatest Avenger of us all. But he also calls us to show mercy as we have been shown.

I get angry alot to when right now my family is dealing with a special needs adult he's my Brother and has a mental disability he is now 28 and for some reason he stopped communicating with my parents whenever he wanted something he just stands there pointing he can talk and he can respond but for some reason he just doesn't and I been so angry because he would give attitude toward my parents like the silent treatment or rolling his eyes.. all I can do is pray for him and deal with it. Idk I been just angry with Him for not responding and expecting him to communicate like he used too..could be the changes and that most of my siblings moved away idk..but yeah it's hard

Things like this usually have a root cause. If it's a big deal and causing, or could potentially cause harm to your existing and any future relationships, have you considered talking with someone about it? It doesn't have to be a professional. It could be a pastor, a sibling or family member you trust, etc.

I am always struggling with anger problem.I get angry with my dad once almost each day.He likes talking on table and when he find a topic,he will not stop.I would ask him to stop several times till I scream.Very quickly I get angry and scream.This is just one example.Each day there would be something that makes me impolite to him.Each time I feel wrong and ask God to forgive,my temper doesn't get any better.I seldom get angry with mom.Just dad.
