Vivian Bricker discusses managing anger in a way that glorifies God, emphasizing the importance of prayer and surrender.

Red-faced, tie askew, and ready to sound the alarm at a moment's notice — Disney Pixar's "Anger" from Inside Out is a surprisingly accurate picture of what it feels like when that emotion takes the wheel. In this practical and grace-filled episode, Vivian Bricker uses that familiar character as a jumping-off point for an honest conversation about one of the most common struggles in the Christian life. Anger is not wrong in itself. It is a God-given emotion. But when we act on it without pause, without prayer, and without the Spirit's help, it leads us somewhere we never intended to go. James 1:19-20 offers a deceptively simple prescription: be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. The Greek word used here, orgēn , carries the weight of wrath and indignation, and James knew exactly how destructive it could become in the life of a believer. Vivian reminds us that the antidote is not suppression but surrender, bringing our anger before God, giving ourselves time and space to let the wave pass, and asking the Holy Spirit to replace inner stirrings of wrath with serenity, kindness, and hope…
