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
How Are You Feeling+FollowI used to hate God for answering everyone else’s prayers but mine I used to watch people’s prayers being answered and wonder why mine always felt ignored. I didn’t shout at God. I just simmered quietly with envy. Then I read Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1. She prayed desperately for a child, and while she waited, she noticed everyone else getting what she longed for. In Hebrew, the word for her grief implies both longing and quiet fury. Hannah’s pain wasn’t wrong. It was a witness. Scripture preserves it, not because it’s neat, but because real faith struggles like this. If you feel jealous today, you’re not failing. You’re living something biblical, raw, and human. #FaithStruggles #Hannah #ChristianEmotions #BiblicalHonesty #PrayerAndWaiting121Share
How Are You Feeling+FollowTo anyone who feels jealous of other people’s faith I hated admitting this. Some people’s prayers seemed answered faster. Their lives looked lighter. Mine felt stalled. Then I remembered Hannah. Before she ever rejoiced, she envied. The Hebrew word used for her grief is tied to being provoked—her pain was triggered by comparison. The Bible doesn’t shame her jealousy. It shows where it came from. Faith doesn’t erase comparison overnight. It exposes it slowly. If you’re jealous today, you’re not unspiritual. You’re human, standing where Hannah once stood—before the miracle, before the song. #FaithStruggles #BiblicalWomen #Hannah #SpiritualComparison #HonestPrayer80Share
