I'm so tired of pretending I'm not angry at people who hurt me (Psalm 58 is wild) Honestly, I've been holding onto a lot of bitterness lately. Someone really wronged my family, and the tupica church advice of "just pray for them and smile" has been making me feel like a fake. So I was venting to God, feeling guilty for being mad, and I stumbled onto Psalm 58. Guys... David literally prays for God to shatter the teeth in his enemies mouths. He asks for them to melt away ike slugs in the sun! I literally gasped. This is the man after God's own heart?!t hit me: God doesn't want our sanitized, polite prayers. He can handle our darkest, ugliest, most violent emotions. We don't have to clean up our anger before we come to Him; we just have to bring it to Him instead of taking revenge ourselves. Such a massive weight off my chest today. #RawFaith #Psalms #ChristianMentalhealth #RealTalk #Letting Go
