Is It Okay to Be Angry at God? (EP. 258)

“Who you turn to at the end of your frustrations is what matters most.”

Support our mission to change a culture, one man at a time – https://menofiron.org/donate

This week, in Episode 258 of the Challenges Men Face series, we dive into another tough question, “Is it okay to be angry at God?” Difficult seasons in life often lead us to question God. Why did you let this happen to me? Why am I going through this? When we look at men like Job, we see that God did not condemn Job for being angry at him, he helped Job work through it. Men, it’s okay to voice our frustrations with God.

Every moment of your life, good or bad, has helped shape who you are today. It’s okay to wrestle with God, but we also have to understand God is ultimately in control. Who you turn to at the end of your frustrations is what matters most. Life was never meant to be easy. Jesus warned his disciples that as followers of Christ would come with a cost.“If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” John 15:19 (NIV).

Our encouragement to you today is to see God in the good or bad. It’s okay to be angry with God, voice your frustrations to Him, turn to Him. Surround yourself with those who push you closer to Him, knowing that He has been faithful in the past and will remain so in the future.

To know God is an adventure, and we are calling all men to conquer the mountain ahead of us. Men, it’s time to climb! >>> MENOFIRON.ORG/THECLIMB
