The poem, “Do Not Let the Sun Go Down Upon Your Wrath Unresolved,” urges readers to manage anger before nightfall, inspired by Ephesians 4:26. It begins with wrath flaring under the day’s light, tempting the heart to cling to bitterness, but calls for its release through a still spirit as Scripture advises. It warns against letting anger persist into dusk, acknowledging God’s love and wrath as He oversees all, with His justice surpassing human anger. The sonnet encourages forgiveness, repentance, and prayer before sunset, relying on Christ’s mercy to soften hardened hearts. It concludes by advocating that wrath fade with the day, finding peace in Christ before night settles.

The spark of wrath ignites beneath the sun,
A flame that tempts the heart to harbor ill,
Yet Scripture bids us pause ere day is done,
To quench its heat within a spirit still.

Let not the dusk entomb a bitter sting,
Nor shadows cloak what Christ would bid release,
For God, in love and wrath, sees everything—
His justice reigns, our anger must decrease.

Before the light retreats beyond the skies,
Forgive, repent, and lay the grudge aside,
In prayer, surrender what the soul denies,
His mercy flows where hardened hearts abide.

So heed the call, let wrath with daylight fade,
In Christ, find peace before the night is made.
