Your Question:
Can I still have a relationship with God even if I'm angry?
Answer:
My friend, I'm glad you asked this question. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with anger, not just towards others, but towards God Himself. The Bible says, "If we don't love others, we don't love God" (1 John 4:20). When we're angry with others, we're essentially standing against God, because we're not showing the love and compassion that He commands us to show. This is a serious issue, because it reveals our heart before God. The Bible also warns us that anger can lead to spiritual warfare. When we're angry, we can start to question God's love and power, and that's when the devil comes in and tries to divide us from God. But God is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and quick to forgive. He wants us to come to Him, not in anger, but in humility and repentance. As it says in Psalm 103:8, "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love." So, can you still have a relationship with God even if you're angry? Yes, you can. But it requires humility and a willingness to come to God with a broken and contrite heart. As it says in Psalm 51:17, "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." If you're struggling with anger, I encourage you to come to God and ask for His forgiveness and help. He's always ready to receive you, no matter what.
