Anger isn’t automatically sinful, but it can quickly lead to sin if left unchecked. Through Psalm 4:4, Proverbs 14:29, and Ephesians 4:26–27, Nicole unpacks what Scripture says about handling anger in a healthy, God-honoring way. She shares how anger can mask deeper emotions like hurt, disappointment, or betrayal, and why inviting God into those raw moments is key.

Continuing the Lord, Hear My Prayer series, Nicole explores one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—human emotions: anger. Listeners will discover how to pause, reflect, and search their hearts before responding—and how to prevent giving the enemy a “foothold” in their lives.

• Quick-tempered reactions lead to foolishness.
  Proverbs 14:29 reminds us patience brings understanding, but a hot temper leads to regret.
