ANGER
“In your anger do not sin” ;Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry. Ephesians 4:26 NASB
It would be foolish to think that any one of us would never be angry. We may become angry when someone we love says, without thinking, something that hurts our feelings. We may be tempted to become angry whenever things don’t go the way we want them to go. We may become angry when we hit our thumb rather than the nail we are attempting to hammer home. Anger is certainly one of the more detestable human behaviors.
It would be even more foolish to allow anger to consume our very being. If we become angry, be patient and peace will come. It is better to forgive an insult than to become angry over it. There is no event so heinous that it would lead to lasting anger. Be quick to forgive; be filled with love not hate; have faith that tomorrow will be better and that we will sing in the sunshine. Know that the Lord is with us and will sustain us no matter what lies ahead.
Lord, thank you for your endless mercies. Be with us and guide us through the road we must take. Amen

And, as you aptly point out, anger can be combated with love - knowing that nothing is so bad it's justifies sinful anger. It's assuring to know God will give you peace and the ability to forgive, love.
By the way, a pastor told a story about a kid coming close, watching him intently when he was doing carpentry. The pastor asked the kid why he's so interested in watching him do carpentry. The kid answered "I just wanted to find out what a pastor would say when he hit his thumb with the hammer."
