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+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
