Our murder for which God banishes us from His presence? Being angry like Cain at others for no justifiable reason and letting the sun set on our anger - granting a foothold to Satan to master us. We pray to Him? He is not obligated to hear us! Make no mistake - Jesus taught us this whole counsel of God on anger in Matthew 5 and again on prayer in Matthew 6. Matthew 6:14-15 14“If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. 15But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. Matthew 5:21-26 Teaching about Anger 21“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.’22But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot,f you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone,g you are in danger of the fires of hell.h 23“So if you are presenting a sacrificei at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you, 24leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God. 25“When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison. 26And if that happens, you surely won’t be free again until you have paid the last penny.
