Have you even been angry at God?

Question

Why?
Please elaborate.

Answer 1

Sure...I've been angry. Add to that resentful, rebellious, doubtful, and so on.

We are emotional creatures....both positive and negative. God created us as such, and I think He knew that we would occassionally direct some of those negative emotions back at Him. It's not necessarily wrong when this happens. Often times, if our heart is in the right place, venting those emotions toward God will cause us to return later with a more humble spirit and ask God's help in some area of our life. God understands our nature better than we understand ourselves, and He knows that we are far from perfect. Praise God, though, that He is forgiving and merciful.

In my own life, my wife and I tried for years to have a child. We went through countless rounds of medical tests and procedures before finally finding out on Christmas Eve that she was pregnant. We were so happy that our prayers had been heard. Sadly, we lost that baby a couple of months later to a miscarriage. I was crushed....I was angry with God and, though I knew it was wrong, I felt that I was somehow being punished. After a time, I let go of that anger. We gave up on the doctors and turned the whole thing over to God. I was completely humbled when the first month after our miscarriage my wife conceived our first child, who is now a healthy, happy, three-year-old example of God's blessings.

I look back at times and I'm ashamed for the anger I threw at God. However, I'm also thankful that God did not hold my lapse in faith against me.

Answer 2

Not really. I know that it is the human's choice that brings them to anger. It's never anyone's fault but your own. In fact, in times like those I thank God for not knocking me off of the face of the Earth yet for being such a brat to people ^_^

Answer 3

No, I haven't been angry at God. There wouldn't be no need to. We all make choices and sometimes they're not the right choices. If we did God's Will instead of our own, things would turn out the right way.

Answer 4

Never. People have free will so its stupid for anyone to be angry and blame god for their problems when its a result of one's own mistakes or the actions of others.

Answer 5

Sure, I'm human and didn't understand why He did what He did. But I know He's God and in charge and I'm to trust Him completely. His answer and mine may not be the same, yet His will be the right one, even though I may not see it at that time.

Answer 6

When my first wife died I curse God and went to the other side.
But really you don't want to go there.
Devil will make it easy for you to be mad.
My friend Kenny wanted me to give you this answer it's his Birthday today so I typed it for him.
Me myself no because it is wasted time.

Answer 7

Yes. I blamed him for something that happened that I considered unfair. The death of a loved one who was one of the nicest people ever.Then I realized that God did not cause it.

Answer 8

yes, and I tell Him so, and I ask Him to forgive me. I get mad when things don't go quickly enough such as geting my kids thru college. I get mad when a young person dies in a car wreck. He understands we are human and we have these feelings.

Answer 9

Yes.

I wondered why I had to suffer... because I was saved, why couldn't he just take me up after I believed?

Then I realized that it's because he really loved me. So that I may suffer then through suffering produce perseverance, perseverance, character and character hope and hope in Christ never fails. (Romans 5)

Answer 10

No. it's stupid to be angry at something for something you did or unfortunate acts of the cruel world.
