Do you ever get angry at God?

Question

like if he doesn't answer your prayers?

Or do you just trust that he knows better, or has a plan for you other than answering that specific prayer?

Answer 1

Yes. In April my daughter suffered brain damage in a car wreck. I wanted to blame him, but ultimately it was her fault. She is getting better in small bits, so now I just try to be patient and pray for more healing.

Answer 2

I have been angry at God before, but it wasn't because of an unanswered prayer. I was angry at him for taking my grandmother from me for a while after she died, but I soon realized that it was her time to go.

If God doesn't answer a specific prayer, you shouldn't be angry with him. He knows what's best for you and knows all the things in your life to come. Don't worry. God will never hand you anything you can't handle, and if he does when you need him most he'll be there. (Remember: Footprints in the Sand)

Answer 3

All prayers are answered in God's time. It's just that sometimes God's answer is silence.

Check out parts in the Bible about David--he was seriously angry with God, so don't feel like it's not okay to be angry with God...just as long as you make peace with him.

Answer 4

I get mad at Him all the time. I think He does answer our prayers, its just that sometimes He says no. I figure that He sees the big picture, and all I can see is the here and now, so even though it seems to be completely wrong to me, there's a purpose to everything, I just don't have a clue what it is.

Answer 5

Both. I am going through such a hard time in my life that like any frustrated person I get angry and fly off the handle at times with God. Then after I have had my little temper tantrum I sit back and review all he has done for me already and trust even in this tough time he will see me and my family through it.

Answer 6

I got angry at Him when I didn't know Him and my nephew died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome(S.I.D.S). I thought how could you not let him live and I blasphemed His name. I felt that he hadn't even got to live a full life and it was wrong to do that to my sister. I eventually got over his death in my own certain way, but realized how much death can tear people apart. My understanding of Jesus and how much He wants what is best for everybody helps me in all my down times. I still miss my nephew, but now know that I will get to see him again. God does have a plan for each and everyone of us. I know and believe this with all my heart. Even if we cannot see this in all our turmoil today we will eventually know later down the road. I hope this helps anyone who is having a hard time. God bless and have a great day.

Answer 7

Yes, every now and then I get mad at God, but then I realize that He did not answer a certain prayer because it wasn't best for me.

Answer 8

When I am angry at God but its because I do not understand what he is trying to show me or I am not paying attention to him.
I know that God doesn't get angry because we are angry at him, he want to know how we feel and anger is sometimes part of those feelings. Thank God he still loves us even them.

Answer 9

Yes. I get angry when I don't understand and He has to correct me.
If you get angry because God doen't answer your prayers, probably He said, "No." or "Not yet."
James 4:3 says, "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."

Answer 10
