Anger is displayed when you are not satisfied with where you are, what you are doing, and you can’t do anything about it. It’s wanting and not having. These desires may or may not be godly, and there is no earthly means that will alleviate the dilemma. There are lots of reasons for anger, but only one cause—dissatisfaction.

Sometimes we find ourselves with an inner ‘grrrr’ towards people, situations, circumstances, or even toward ourselves. Sometimes it ebbs and flows, other times it can be more constant for days at a time. Know that there is nothing to do about the way you feel, except just BE QUIET. The turmoil usually means that more maturity is needed. Take the time to absorb or reflect on what God has said to you. For now, you are still walking in what you…
