When You’re Angry at God: How to Be Honest With Him in Your Hurt

from What's God Got To Do With It? With Leanne Ellington · host iHeartPodcasts

Today we’re tackling a topic that many shy away from but is so essential: the feeling of being angry at God. Yep, we’re going there. It's time to have  an honest conversation about those moments when life deals you such a hard blow that you find yourself looking up at the sky and asking, “Why, God? Why would You let this happen?” If you’ve ever been in a place where disappointment turned into frustration, or frustration turned into full-blown anger at God, this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve wondered if feeling this way makes you less faithful or if admitting your hurt somehow betrays your beliefs. We're here to tell you that it doesn’t. God is big enough to handle your anger, your questions, and your doubts. He invites you to bring your real, raw emotions to Him—because true intimacy with God is built on honesty. In this episode, Leanne shares her personal experience with feeling abandoned by God and how learning to be open with my emotions deepened her relationship with Him. We’ll look at examples from the Bible and explore practical steps on how to approach God in your hurt without shame. So, if you’re wrestling with anger, confusion, or doubt, join us as we talk about finding peace in God’s unchanging character and how being honest with Him is not a sign of weak faith but an act of true trust.
