My kids were required to memorize James 2:19-21 for school a few months ago. At first glance, it appeared to be any other bible verse. Until one day, I became angry by a circumstance. This verse from James suddenly came to me, convicting me and helping me to relax. I'm reminded of the verse now every time I get angry or upset about something.

James 2:19-21 ¹⁹ My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ²⁰ because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. ²¹ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
