"Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming ... But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator." Colossians 3:5-10 (NIV)
In his letter to the believers in Colosse, the Apostle Paul said that the wrath of God is coming. He even listed for them the things which would incur the wrath of God.
We need to pray and ask God for forgiveness for our sins, whether they are on this list or not, including our sinful thoughts and intentions. The wrath of God is coming, and we do not want to incur God's wrath. We should to do our best to imitate Christ and walk in His way. (Ephesians 5:1-2) For that, we need to pray for His help.
