What do I do?

Anger. Just the word makes your blood start pumping. I have found myself asking my heavenly Father: 1. Is it okay to be angry? 2. What do I do? 3. Will you take care of it........please? So far the answers I have gotten are not exactly what I wanted, but, who said it was about me. Question 1. yes, however, Be angry and do not sin. Dont let the sun go down on your anger (Ephesian 4:26).
Question 2. nothing until I say so and until I tell you what to do.
Question 3. I will take care of YOU, I will settle the issues that YOU have and you will have to trust Me.
Now, knowing all this, I mean really knowing it, why do I still want to do the opposite? It's a war within my mind. (Romans 7:21-23) Oh how dangerous when passion and emotion are in the way. When you really just want to tell everyone for the purpose of vindication.

Oh my Almighty Father, please help me not to act in my own way. Remove my selfish desires. Give me the grace I need to do what is pleasing in your eyes and brings honor to your name, rather than pleasing others. Pour down on me Father!!
