Jeremiah was angry with god, David went on Psalm after Psalm and was angry with god, Job was angry with god. It is okay to be angry with god.

It is okay to be angry with god. A friendship is a test of emotions, and no relationship goes without someone being mad at someone else one time or another. God wants to have a friendship with us.

I, for years, got so tied up in my own life that I started neglecting god. I even at one point quit going to church. I really thought I had this life of flesh all worked out. Then financial trouble hit me so fast that my head was spinning.

I found that someone I was working for was crooked as a jaybird. I had all of my funds frozen in a bank account. I no longer could afford my rent, I lost my car then a week later I lost my license for driving drunk. I deserved every bit of what I got.

I became foolish and decided to make decisions in the flesh. That is when the trouble started. I knew I shouldn't have taken the job, but I didn't listen. I knew I shouldn't have drove but was a drunk.

Within two weeks I was homeless without a car and fighting a DUI conviction. I finally got myself alone and screamed at god for letting all this happen too me. I heard a small voice say inside of me say Welcome Back. A flood of emotions filled me and I knew that I tried to do things on my own. I tried to make decisions without talking with god. I fell away from him! I then just cried and repented.

Things didn't turn around over night because there is a lot that I was being taught, but if I had not gotten angry, I wouldn't have finally talked to God.

I am still dealing with that experience but now I am thanking god! I no longer drink, I have a steady job, and although money is sometimes tight, god makes it work.

God loves to hear us talk to him that is why he created us. God was lonely and knew his potential for all of us and he knew what he was getting into when he decided to make man and woman.

If we hold are anger then it will fester inside of us and cause much more damage to our faith then letting loose on god. Anger inside of us spreads like a black cancer. Our hearts can start getting hardened and depression can set in if we don't start venting to the Lord.

God has his ears open to every one of us. He knows when we are angry with him so to act like you are not is foolish. Let it out, shout to the heavens! Let god know what your problem is because we must speak it. All praise and criticism should come
