Have you ever been angry with God?
If so, how did you respond? Did you turn your back on him? Or petition him?
Every month I publish an exclusive article for my email subscribers, and this month we're talking about how we should respond to God when our emotions run high. If you'd like instant, free access, fill out the form below. (If you're already on the list, check your email.)
Here's a snippet:
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MAD at God? It's kind of a weird phenomenon—to be angry with a deity—but I know it's not uncommon. I've had multiple people tell me they have beef with the Almighty.
Often these strong emotions come in response to a tragedy or an unjust situation, those in which one is left asking where God was or why he didn't prevent the disaster.
These emotions are real. They are valid. Don't forget we are made in God's image and that God has emotions. He became angry with Moses when Moses tried to reject his proposal to save the Israelites. Psalm 78 tells us God grieved the sin of Israel in the wilderness. Hebrews tells us God is pleased by our faith.
Nevertheless we must be careful what we do with those emotions. How we respond can be helpful or it can be unproductive (and even sinful).
