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 #ChristianHonesty494Share
OneWordStudy+FollowWhat If I Don’t Feel God Anymore? This is one of the most searched questions among older Christians. And one of the least answered honestly. The Hebrew word yada means to know—not to feel. It describes relationship built through history. Feelings fluctuate. Knowledge remains. The Bible never equates God’s presence with emotional warmth. It ties it to faithfulness over time. If God feels distant, Scripture does not accuse you. It anchors you. You may feel less. But you know more than you realize. #FeelingGod #HebrewBible #FaithAndEmotion #ChristianLife #SpiritualMaturity7832Share
The Verse You Skipped+FollowGod’s Silence Does Not Mean God’s Distance Silence feels like absence. Especially after years of obedience. But the Hebrew word charash means silence that restrains action. Not indifference. Control. Sometimes God is quiet not because He left, but because He is holding back—for your sake. If you’re living in a season where God feels distant, Scripture does not rush you past it. Silence is not abandonment. It is a form of presence we don’t like—but often need. #GodsSilence #HebrewBible #FaithAndDoubt #ChristianReflection #OlderFaith1549Share
OneWordStudy+FollowWhen Your Prayers Go Unanswered for Years, Not Weeks Most sermons talk about delayed answers. Few talk about prayers that stretch across decades. In Hebrew, the word sha’a means to cry for help—and not be answered. It appears in laments where silence, not rescue, is the response. The Bible never pretends every prayer gets a visible resolution. Some prayers become part of the relationship, not the outcome. If you’ve stopped praying out loud because it hurts too much to hope again, God already knows that silence. Faith is not measured by how often you speak. Sometimes it’s measured by how long you stayed. #UnansweredPrayer #HebrewBible #FaithAndWaiting #ChristianLife #OlderBelievers6010Share
OneWordStudy+FollowWhen You’re Angry at God, the Bible Doesn’t Tell You to Be Quiet Many believers learn early: don’t question God. Don’t sound bitter. Don’t be angry. So the anger stays buried. But the Psalms use the Hebrew verb rib—to argue a case. David doesn’t whisper his pain. He presents it like a lawsuit. Biblical faith is not emotional silence. It is honest confrontation held inside relationship. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve served God all my life, and this is where I ended up?” That sentence already exists in Scripture. God is not threatened by your anger. He included it—on purpose. #Psalms #FaithAndAnger #HebrewBible #SpiritualHonesty #ChristianLife505Share
