Question:

How can you keep from getting angry when someone is angry at you?

Answer:

Some suggestions are: walk away, give a soft answer (Proverbs 15:1), don’t answer (1 Peter 2:23), ask the person to either speak respectfully or walk away. When speaking with a brother/sister who seems angry or agitated, it may help to begin by sharing an example of how that person has helped or encouraged you in the past. Each of us can be used to diffuse a situation. We need to be gentle as we do this.
