Anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity
from mild irritation to intense fury and rage," according to Charles
Spielberger, PhD, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Anger is a completely normal, usually
healthy, human emotion. When we lose of a circumstances that we have place
certain expectations on and those expectations do not result in our desired
outcome, we are tempted to be angry and when it gets out of control and turns
destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal
relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. Like other
emotions, it is accompanied by physiological and biological changes; when you
get angry, your heart rate and blood pressure go up, as do the levels of your
energy hormones, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.
The source of this type of anger are both fear and protection of personal rights but when we believe we have the right
to something we have not given the Lord permission to allow an outcome different
from what we want. Timothy says "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of
love and of a sound mind… “ 2 Timothy 1:7
