Positive Anger?

Can you have positive anger? I am asking that exact question to myself today.

I know I am angry. I know why I am angry. But are my future actions to seek justice or revenge?
How can I tell the difference between the two? I honestly do not have an answer for these questions. I know that we feel angry because of a wrong that has directly or indirectly happened to us or someone that we know/love.  "Anger isn't bad. It is an awareness" a good friend of mine stated. And I agree.

The next thing I need to think about is how to move forward. Is it a personal revenge? Or is it a moral and ethical wrong that needs to be stopped. And then how much action do I take? When do I just stop? Am I willing to deal with any other issues that may come up?

I ask that you pray for me. Pray that I may have these pending answers revealed to me. Only God can sort this out for me. His Grace can reveal it. I want to do His will. I want to serve the people that I feel have been wrong. I need the guidance of the Holy Spirit at this time. I need to know if it is revenge I seek or if it is justice. Then I need to know how to pursue in a Christian and loving manner with His will in mind.

Anger is the Devil's playground. The Enemy can twist it and make things worse then they are. The Enemy can feed off of anger if not properly handled and that is what revenge is made of. At lease that is how I see it.

So I ask that you pray. Pray for me. I can only do this by His Grace!
