What is anger?

Anger is a natural response to perceived threats and feelings of being walked all over by someone. It causes your body to release adrenaline, your muscles to tighten, and your heart rate and blood pressure to increase. Your senses might feel more serious and your face and hands may charge. There are common triggers for anger such as losing patience, disappointments, being underappreciated for your efforts, personal problems, pushes from the world. The bible says in Ephesians 4:26"In your anger do not sin, do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. God knows we as humans can get angry but he expects us to get over it as soon as possible

Is anger a bad thing.

Anger is not bad at all because it helps us express our feelings when we are not happy about something. Sometimes it also motivates us to do positive things In Christianity if you have anger over the devil this will push you to pray harder hence more positive results another clear example if you have anger over poverty this will push you to work hard and achieve success.

How to deal with anger?

It is really vital for every single person to learn how to control their anger.

1. pray about it
   praying is the most effective way for us to deal with things we cannot handle in our own strength. When we pray the Lord empowers our spirit to have self-control and also love the people that do not treat us the right way.

2. Think before you speak.
   personally When I get angry whatever comes to my mind Is what I speak but I have come to realize with time the words I speak offend the person a lot. There is a saying that goes "once a word is spoken it can not be taken back " it is always best to react to anger when you have calmed down.

3. Always identify a solution.
   Anger does not solve a problem but it makes things worse so when you realize your husband coming late for meetings annoys you then decide to organize the meetings depending on his schedule, but usually, for such small things, it is best to ignore them and move on.
