Answer 1

I think at one time or another, we all get angry at God because he does not always answer our prayers in the way we want him to do it. Or, perhaps you have had to struggle in your life and you are blaming God because he has not made your life better or easier.

He knows what is in your heart so even if you do not express anger towards him, he will know. I would suggest that you look at why things are happening the way they are. Most of the time, we ourselves are to blame when things don't work out. What actions have you taken to help yourself. God may want to bless you but you could be blocking his blessings because of something you do or are not doing to change things. Or, perhaps he is just asking you to be patient...to wait. He has often said that to me. It is not easy and sometimes you might even think it is unfair, but based on my own experience, in the end, waiting was the best thing.

So many people are mad at God and shake their fists and get mad anger is not always sin. God is angry (Psalm 7:11; Mark 3:5),
Jesus understands anger..It is a human emotion remember he was angry too. King Davied was angry he rants on and on sometimes..But remember also Attack the problem, not the person (Ephesians 4:29,31)
We are human..
It is okay to be angry,hurting,frustrated, not being able to see our way out of a situation, Its sooooo hard sometimes letting go and letting God. who really does this stuff. Of course he knows your pissed off at him but if you were mad at your wife girlfriend or even just a friend.Would you tell them or would you walk away from them and never mention it again. Think take your time.. Then if you would do this with a wife,friend,girlfriend, why in the world would you not do it with God?..
You call on him when you are hurt and when you are sick or when you need someone to listen.Anger is a secondary emotion that hides are pains of frustration, sadness,WE all at one time or another let our life situations eat at us.. But I will tell you this.. Do what you have to do.. Go out on a walk far far away, on a boat,,and screammmmmmmm if you need to.. YELL if you need to.Shake your fist at the havens. Get it out sweetheart GET IT OUT..
For the love of God GET IT OUT..and then when you’re finished ranting raving and shacking your fist..

have a good talk to Jesus and ask him for forgivness Be honest and tell him you were mad that you have kept it all bottled up inside.. he is all knowing and all Loving.. Let Him love you so you can start loving your self again..

Anger is a normal human emotion but why are you angry with him? Maybe you're angry at something else or something that's your own fault and it's easier to blame God or be angry with him than to really take a hard, honest look and see the truth. Anger is an easier emotion to display than fear and some people turn to anger rather than be afraid---it's a natural response but some times not honest. Read the story of Job in the Bible---if any one had cause to be angry for his misfortunes, it was him but instead, he chose to praise God. Thing to remember is to count--literally, count your blessings---your health, your friends and family, your job, the faculties that God has given you---how many people are much worse off than you in this world? God hears your prayers and answers them in due time but sometimes , it may not be what you want---rather his will for you. Be content and do your best for him. When these moments crop up, keep repeating " Be still, my soul"

Answer 4

Honestly, when we say we're angry with God, I don't think we're so much angry with God as with situations. Sometimes it seems like He just lets bad things happen and doesn't care. Which isn't really so. He lets bad things happen because without the bad, we can't really appreciate the good. But He doesn't cause them to happen, and He does care. That isn't a whole lot of consolation when something really disastrous happens to you, but God loves you whether you're angry or not. Someday we'll know all the answers. So just translate your perceived anger with God into anger at the bad situations, learn what you can from them, and that makes it easier to move on.

Answer 5

There are two sources within from which evil arise.
The one is the flesh, which we are to reckon dead, and stand in faith until it is a reality.
However I know from personal experience, whether it fits in with your theology or not, that Christians can be troubled with an evil spirit in the area of their physical bodies or in the area of their soul. (The spirit is born of God. The evil one cannot touch us there unless we abandon faith and apostatize)
If your problem is the latter, you may need to call upon the Lord Jesus to deliver you. A spirit can operate from without or from within. If it is operating from within, it must be expelled, or cast out. You may be able to do this yourself, another, like a minister or any fellow believer operating in faith; or if you cannot find success, simply call upon the Lord to deliver you. There may be a deeper root that needs to be dealt with; for instance unforgiveness or involvement in the occult. Believe the Lord. He wants you free and will show you what you must do. You can find further teaching along these lines on this website, either in the free radio programs (check the archives), or you may have to order a tape series or a book.
May God bring you into peace and victory.

Answer 6

It is possible and saved people do get angry at God. It's not a sin it's just an expression of feelings. Does it mean you're right. No. People can get angry for different reasons. They could be stressed, discouraged, lonely, or felt abandoned. It may not make them right, but that's how they feel.

Answer 7

Yes, it's possible, but that doesn't mean that it's okay. People can get angry at God when they don't understand what His plan is; when a family member dies; or when it seems like God isn't paying attention to them.

When I'm hurting, I tell God about it. I don't let it eat at me, I calmly tell Him how I'm feeling without blaming Him. I repent when I get angry at God.

I hope that this was helpful.

My wife went through a tough time after two unexpected pregnancies and miscarriages within 2 year. It was hard on her, hard on our finances and those made it hard on me and often the rest of the family. Sometimes, she still has struggles.

I often asked God why He hasn't changed her, fixing what's wrong inside. I have asked Him many, many times, even yelling at Him. I know my wife has had her bouts with Him, too. These times can be stressful, monotonous and just plain hard. Yet, I believe God has compassion and patience with my outbursts - and I have often asked Him to forgive my outbursts and help me to be patient and allow Him to work out those things He is working on.

Paul struggled with many down times. Yet, he knew, as he wrote, "His grace is sufficient for me."

The Psalmist, King David also struggled with bad times. Read through Psalms. You will see in the midst of much praise, also times where he complained to the Lord, groveled before the Lord and lamented before the Lord. Yet, He stood tall knowing the Lord is great.

Answer 9

It's okay to be mad with God. It happens sometimes. The best thing to do is talk it over with Him. Don't let it fester....it hurts you more than it hurts Him. If you refuse to talk to Him or if you just refuse to recognize your anger toward Him, He will bring you to a place where you have to talk to Him...where you have no where else to turn. He is much more concerned your shared relationship than He is with your comfort.

Read the book of Job. That guy had some serious things happen to him...

Answer 10

Unfortunately, most born again believers have never read the Bible completely and don't know God as they should. Any time we are having emotional problems (feelings are there) have to do with us and not with God. Usually it has to do with disobedience. Read the Bible completely, from Genesis to Revelation. It should take about a year. Join a Bible study group (apart from reading thru the Bible) from your congregation. Also I highly recommend to all believers " the Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. To answer your last question, confess any sin and say no to it!!! and abide in Jesus Christ.
