9 Why Engaging Your Story Requires Anger at God

Sometimes, “the place we find ourselves” is a place of anger at God. Some of us grew up in Christian sub-cultures in which anger at God was not allowed. If you were angry at God for too long, you had a sense that there was something wrong with you. As a result, many Christians feel ashamed if they find themselves angry at God.

Sooner or later, if you are emotionally honest, you will find yourself angry at your Creator.  Have you ever just poured out your anger, before editing your words?
