ANGER
When You Are Angry
Anger can point to something genuinely wrong, but unmanaged anger easily becomes its own wrong. Scripture makes room for anger while demanding self-control and truthful speech.
Start with Scripture, not a slogan
Read the surrounding chapter whenever you can. A verse can be true and still be misused when it is pulled away from the argument, poem, story, or situation it belongs to.

A PRACTICAL NEXT STEP
Do one faithful thing today.
Tell God exactly what happened before you tell everyone else. Ask what part of your anger is about justice, what part is about pride, and what response would refuse both passivity and revenge.
Then choose one action small enough to do today: make the call, write the apology, ask for help, read the chapter, make the appointment, set the boundary, review the budget, or simply tell one trustworthy person what is actually happening.
