I am a prideful man whose pride is often revealed to me in my anger toward others. God is convicting me of this and calling me to repentance. I am finding the following resources helpful in addressing this sin in my own heart. If you struggle with this sin, I’m sure they will prove helpful to you as well.
- 30 Bible Verses About Anger
- “The Healing of Anger” Proverbs 14:29-30 (A sermon by Tim Keller)

- A letter from Anne Dutton on the subject of pride (convicting letter with fourteen points on pride by the brilliant poet and theologian, Anne Dutton, 1692-1765)
“God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” I’m sure that I will be returning to these links again and again in a lifelong battle against the sin of pride and anger.
