Sometimes anger can show up suddenly — just like a fast, loud storm. It can make us say mean things, hurt our friends’ feelings, and even make us feel bad inside. But God wants us to live with peace in our hearts.

The Bible says in Ephesians 4:26,“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.” This means it’s okay to feel upset sometimes, but we should still act in a way that makes God happy.

So, Anger isn’t just a feeling — it can be like an open door for bad choices. If we don’t control it, anger can make it hard to feel God’s peace or hear His voice. A heart full of anger feels heavy, but a heart full of God’s love feels light and joyful.
