Anger - Aim It in the Right Direction

The topics of anger and bitterness are issues that author, Joni Eareckson Tada, can speak to personally:  A diving accident in 1967, when she was 17, left her a quadriplegic.  She has lived 45 years in a wheelchair and she has experienced her share of ups and downs.  Our anger can either destroy us with self-pity, or God can use it to make us joyful.  The key is to aim the anger in the right direction. To do this, we need to -- 

• Learn to be transparent before the Lord.


• Complain to the Lord in the way that Bible characters did.


• Turn despair Godward.
