Not very often. Most of the time i get frustrated with understanding why people are the way that they are sometimes. But in the Psalms we see people who are not only angry with God but they honestly express that as well as a trust in God (see Psalm 103 as an example of a lament psalm).
i think it's important to understand we can get angry with God, but we also need to approach Him honestly and remember who He is. God doesn't always owe us an explanation for everything (after all He is God and we are man.) The Psalmists were brutally honest - they felt like God had left them, they felt like God had forgotten about them, they felt the pain of their enemies mocking them and saying where is this God that you put your trust in- but in the end they put their trust in God and God showed himself to be faithful...
Great question and i hope my answer helped u. God Bless...

It's possible to be angry with God but so far no Im ok. So many things you don't want happen to you on this Earth that you get mad at God. But you're not supposed to blame Him. If there was no evil, everything would be good. And in New Jerusalem, there is going to be NO evil so people should have patience and faith until that day comes and we(Christians) shall live without suffering or dying.

Not much anymore. The last time I remember feeling angry was when a little girl in southern California was kidnapped, raped and murdered. I was hysterical...for some reason it really got to me. She was just five or six years old I think. I kept asking why, why why didn't you stop it.
I know God's character, I know that no matter how little I understand the whys of things, He is perfect in all His ways. It just upset me so...I really lost it.

I have am very honest with God I figure He knows my heart what am going to say anyway so why not be honest with Him. I've screamed yelled (not that am proud of that) my hubby heard me ranting at God one time and was looking around he thought lightening bolts would come down and strike me LOL. I know God always has our back but sometime it's like when we r waiting on Him for something we need it gets hard u know?

Certainly. There are times when I just don't understand what is plan is. But every time I trust Him and ask for His strength I am rewarded. hang on & hold on - God loves you & will always be with you.

I can't really answer this for myself because of belief conflicts, but I think it's good to get angry with God. Maybe I should rephrase. I think it's good to admit you get angry with God. I seriously doubt there is anyone so pious that they never get mad at God. They may try to repress it and direct it at themselves, but that doesn't mean they weren't angry. Don't you think God would be able to see that reaction? Plus, people who express their anger can resolve it more easily.

No, the only reason one would get angry with God would be because they believed God makes things happen in our lives. The truth is that God exists but he doesn't intervene in our lives, he observes. I refuse to believe that God has allowed all the hurt and pain and death to exist in the world if he intervened. If I did believe that, I would get angry with him too.

Of course. But, when you are, it is best to just be honest and real to God, instead of pretending that everything is fine. Read the Psalms, and you will see that even King David got angry at God (he was very real to God).

Yes. Don't sweat it work with your good dad.
