OneWordStudy+FollowThe Bible Has a Word for Being Angry at God Most believers were taught to suppress this feeling. Anger feels dangerous. Disrespectful. But the Hebrew word za‘aq appears in raw prayers. It means to cry out in protest. These cries are not corrected in Scripture. They are recorded. God never asks His people to sanitize their emotions. He invites honesty before obedience. If you’ve swallowed anger for years, that silence may hurt your faith more than truth ever would. The Bible does not fear your anger. It gives it language. #AngerAtGod #HebrewBible #BiblicalPrayer #FaithStruggles #ChristianHonesty172Share
DidYouKnow+FollowTo anyone who feels disappointed after doing everything right I stayed faithful. I prayed. I showed up. I didn’t walk away. And still, the outcome hurt. That’s why Job’s middle chapters matter more than his ending. Job keeps insisting there’s a mismatch between his faithfulness and his suffering. He’s not claiming perfection. He’s naming a gap. The Bible never tells him that gap is imaginary. If you feel disappointed today—not because you rejected God, but because you trusted Him—Scripture says this gently: your pain doesn’t mean your faith failed. It means you took God seriously. #FaithAndDisappointment #Job #BiblicalDepth #LongFaith #ChristianHonesty31Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels angry at God—and ashamed of it I never said I was angry at God. I told myself it was disappointment. Or confusion. Anything that sounded more respectful. But anger has a way of staying, even when we rename it. That’s why Jeremiah matters so much to me. In Jeremiah 20, the prophet doesn’t whisper his frustration. He accuses God of misleading him. He curses the day he was born. And then—he keeps talking to God anyway. Jeremiah’s anger didn’t cancel his calling. It existed inside it. If you feel anger toward God today, you’re not crossing a line. You’re standing where a prophet once stood—still speaking, because the relationship is real enough to hold truth. #AngerAtGod #Jeremiah #BiblicalLament #EmotionalFaith #ChristianHonesty112Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels disappointed with God after doing everything right I did what I was taught to do. I stayed faithful. I prayed. I showed up. I didn’t walk away when it got hard. And still, things didn’t turn out the way I hoped. That’s why the story of Job matters more to me now than it ever did before. Not the beginning. Not the ending. But the middle—where Job keeps saying he didn’t do anything to deserve this. In Hebrew, Job’s language is careful. He isn’t claiming perfection. He’s saying there is a gap between faithfulness and outcome. The Bible never corrects him for noticing that gap. God responds later, but He never says Job imagined the unfairness. If you feel disappointed today—not because you rejected God, but because you trusted Him—Scripture tells you this: disappointment is not rebellion. It is often the cost of taking faith seriously for a long time. #FaithAndDisappointment #Job #BiblicalDepth #LongFaith #ChristianHonesty15126Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels quietly resentful toward God I never called it anger. I told myself it was maturity. Acceptance. Letting go. But underneath, it was resentment. Jonah forces me to face that. He isn’t confused about God. He understands Him clearly—and resents Him anyway. Jonah’s anger comes from knowing God will show mercy where Jonah believes judgment is deserved. The Bible doesn’t resolve that tension for him. Jonah’s story ends without emotional closure. If resentment lives in you today, Scripture doesn’t rush to fix it. It acknowledges that knowing God deeply doesn’t always make His ways easier to live with. #FaithAndResentment #Jonah #BiblicalTruth #HardFaith #ChristianHonesty40Share
