I need some help...

There are things in life I understand. There are things that I know are truths and are good. There are things that I know are evil and bad. Paul from the Bible said it best, "why do I do the things I don't want to do and don't do the things I should do?" (paraphrased)

Here are most of the scriptures in proverbs in relation to fools that I feel apply to me in one way or another:
Pr 11:29 - He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind, And the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
Pr 12:15 - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.
Pr 12:16 - A fool's wrath is known at once, But a prudent man covers shame.
Pr 13:16 - Every prudent man acts with knowledge, But a fool lays open his folly.
Pr 14:3 - In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride, But the lips of the wise will preserve them.
Pr 14:16 - A wise man fears and departs from evil, But a fool rages and is self-confident.
Pr 15:7 - The lips of the wise disperse knowledge, But the heart of the fool does not do so.

Here are the scriptures in Proverbs referring to anger:
Pr 15:1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Pr 15:18 - A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention.
Pr 16:32 - He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Pr 19:11 - The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

Ok, I would say, I get it. I KNOW the answer. That's not the problem. The answer is typically on the other side of each of the proverbs that I "violate". The answers are easy. Or, I should say that the correct way is evident.

So, here's the question. How? How do I claim the correct way? How do I not do what I don't want to do?

I already hear the answers - "Trust the Lord.", "His yoke is easy His burden light", "Have faith.", "Lay your burdens at His feet." I even recall my 2nd oldest daughter reciting 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast your cares upon Him for He cares for you." as a 5 year old in front of an audience of people. Again, I KNOW these things. But, knowledge is only half of it I presume. I can recall times in my life where I figured out how to "turn things over to God". We do that with my wife's womb. Trusting the Lord that He will bless us, won't give us more than we can handle, and that He will provide. That's easy! That's almost like forgetting. Just forget that's an issue and know that it'll be handled. Man, "forgetting", now I can do that. But, what about the things that require an action? Or a change? How do you physically move to "Trust the Lord" on and issue like folly or anger? How is the yoke strapped on to handle those things? I hear more answers - "prayer" and "equip" come to mind.

I have prayed - earnestly as I know how - and often. I feel fairly equipped, I mean, I already quoted the verses that "correct" my predicament. Is there something else? Some have said that it is a lack of faith to pray and then commit the same sin. In fact, I think I've said that a time or two.

So, to be wise I should walk with the wise...this is request from me to you that are wise. Li'l help?
Pr 10:8 -The wise in heart will receive commands, But a prating fool will fall.

I don't know what prating is...but I don't even want to be on that side of the sentence...I await commands in hopes that I will become wise in heart.
