My daily devotion, Get Up With God, asked for questions - the author of the page promised to try to address every problem. This is what I sent him...I will print the answer if I get one.
Can I get angry? I don't mean over spilt milk or stubbing my toe. When someone does something that hurts or harms me, sometimes prayer isn't enough.
It's beneficial to me to know that I handle a particular situation with poise and silence when my heart is crying and all I want to do is raise my hand to strike. At the same time, my brain is trying to figure a way to make the perpetrator suffer, or at least, be made aware of their cruelty and become sorrowful as a result.
Can I get angry? Can I be hurt? Is it ok to avoid someone who obviously needs to reach away from me and to Jesus?
Can I cry out to God to be my revenge? Can I ask God to administer human justice?
I feel that praying for someone's ultimate demise transfers the sin to me, but sometimes people make it so hard to be a Christian.
Can I get angry?
