In the X-Men, Wolverine is an angry guy who has to constantly fight to keep his anger issues under control. When he's in control of his anger, he's a brave and loyal hero. But when he loses control, he can be a danger to everyone around him, even the people he cares about most.
A lot of us are kind of like Wolverine — we have some anger issues. The good news is, it's natural to be mad sometimes. There's nothing actually wrong with being angry. It's what you do with your anger that can have a negative impact. When you're in control of your anger, you can still be a good friend and a healthy person for others to be around. It's when you lose control of your anger that bad things can start happening.
That's why it's important to learn how to control your anger, and that takes time. It's like learning to play the piano or do a cartwheel. You have to practice. At first, you might not be very good at it. Even after a lot of effort, you still might make some mistakes now and then. But over time, if you keep at it, you'll see results.
The Bible suggests being slow to anger and quick to listen. That means to try and take time to really talk to others before we get mad at them. You might have to practice, but if it's good enough for Wolverine, it's good enough for us too.
Scripture
About this Plan

For the next four weeks, we’ll explore four passages of Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments that might challenge our view on anger. We’ll learn practical skills like when we feel angry, pause to ask God why. We’ll see how, when we’re angry, Jesus shows us how to respond. And in our anger, we'll be challenged to show grace and not get hurtful.
