God wants you to be angry. Not spiteful, not vengeful, not malicious... ANGRY. In fact, every believer should have an intense moral and emotional reaction to injustice. Whether it's the innocent who are being incarcerated, the benevolent who are being haunted and murdered... those hated for what they look like, sound like or where they come from.
