Feeling angry with God....

[other one]

I have found that when I am angry with Him that it works out best if I just get off by myself and talk it out with him...... I have screamed and yelled and kicked rocks and cans and flailed around on the ground like a two year old having a fit....... I have always had a resolution to my anger before going home and occasionally a serious message or two on how to deal with it.

It helps to analyze your anger.

Why are you angry?

More often than not it boils down to not understanding what is happening in the big scheme, feeling helpless, losing control, etc.

Understanding it this way helps to deal with it. It's easier to lean on the Lord when you realize you are feeling helpless to some degree and need His help.

And through all of that I'm sure He is rolling His eyes and waiting patiently for you to see that, once again, He knows best. We truly serve an awesome God, O.O.

Why is it in mans makeup the need to blame others for what happens

Genesis 2

12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

13 And the LORD God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

Men (and women) have been passing the blame since the first sin. Why should today be any different?

Actually on more than one occasion he's spoken to me..... I got all wound up after my wife started having serious MS symptoms because God wouldn't heal her. She's one of the purest people I've ever known in my life and I know/knew ie wasn't any problem

at all for him to heal her. I was extremely insenced for him letting her suffer so and let hiim know...... after a couple of weeks of festering anger I did the go out by myself in the woods routine and just let him have evry upset emotion I could muster. I figured as an adopted son and her an adopted dughter we had the right to be helped in our need. While never putting God down or anything like that, I demanded to know why..... It was to the point that I really expected a random bolt of lightening to come down and strike me dead.

Well instead what happened was a very quiet and very soft voice that simply said with such emotion, "Sam...... Sam..... Sam, that's really between her and myself and it's really none of your business." Well, I ask, what do you say to that.

Well the story goes further but that's not for this thread. Ultimately she's still functional, but not nearly healed but I learned that there is a reason she's going through this and some day we'll understand why. The experience had drawn me so close to him that I've learned to sense and listen to his proddings and messages concerning my personal life and sometimes how to deal with others.

You are blessed to be so attuned to the Lord, O.O.

Interesting article.....I've only known one person who was angry with God (that I know about) to the point where he turned to atheism. I don't understand it at all but I know it happens. From Yahoo Health......

http://health.yahoo....risisstudyfinds

The following, from the article, left me totally bewildered....

"Interestingly, those who don't believe in God or question God's existence reported more anger at God than people who said they believed."

The bible says that Jonah was angry at God because he did not destroy Ninevah. I've been angry because some things did not work out as I wanted that I had prayed and prayed about. And whether you actually say "I'm mad at God", you are really mad at him. God knows we are human and thankfully He is patient with us. Honesty is what is important. God will bring us around to an understanding and repentance if we keep walking with Him.

i've been angry at God more times than i can count. it doesn't mean i don't trust Him, or that i doubt Him. it means that i'm human. it means that i get frustrated because i don't understand His ways, His timing, and i get impatient. or maybe i get angry because i want what i want and i'm being a petulant child.

is it a sin? i don't know. i never thought about it before as being a sin. and i'm not going to start worrying myself about whether it's a sin or not. it happens. and when it happens, i don't hold back, because i know that God knows my thoughts anyway, so i'm gonna be quite honest with Him and tell Him i'm angry. and when i do that, my anger always subsides and i am given the comfort and peace that comes from the Holy Spirit.

i believe God desires us to be honest with Him above all else. so i'm honest. if it's a sin for me to be honest when i'm angry with Him, then so be it. i think it would be a whole lot more offensive if i denied my anger and pretended it didn't exist.

[Joshua-777]

The one time I blew up and showed my anger towards God, I ended up giving my life to Him the next day.

i currently am angry with God and atheism seems the only viable option! i dont like the devil or budda or anything else that is called god, i look to the man in the mirror and thats all that matters!
