Today's Verse
“Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?” Psalm 10:1
There are times in many people’s lives when tragedy, hardship, or seeing the evil in the world makes them angry. Sometimes that anger gets turned towards God. How could He allow this? If He’s so good, why do these things happen? Honestly,
I don’t think that expressing anger is a bad thing. God is truth and I don’t think He faults us when we are honest about our feelings. King David in the Bible often brought his complaints to God.
In fact, many of them became scripture—what we see in the Psalms. So, the next time you feel angry about something that has happened, bring it to God.
He can handle your questions, but keep in mind that He is your Father and we must always be respectful. It’s better when we give it to God because He listens and He cares; He can replace your anger with peace.
Today's Prayer
Thank You, Father, for hearing us even when we don’t understand and turn our anger toward You. Help us to let You replace our anger with Your peace and trust. Amen.
