Now, behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen. And Saul said, “What is wrong with the people, that they are weeping?” So they told him the news of the men of Jabesh. And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was greatly kindled.
1 Samuel 11:5-6 ESV

A good example of righteous anger. It’s often that my anger comes from a place of selfish frustration showing that my desires of how things should be are out of alignment with how God would have them.

God, search my heart, reveal selfish motives, and give me your perspective on situations so I can respond righteously.
