Your Question:
Is it wrong to feel angry at God for not healing my child?
Answer:
As a pastor and a father, I've seen my share of difficult situations, and I understand the pain and frustration that comes with watching a child suffer. It's natural to feel angry or helpless when we see our children struggling with illness or pain. But, as the Bible reminds us, we must be careful not to let our anger become sinful. We must ask ourselves, "Am I angry because God is not doing what I want Him to do, or am I angry because I'm hurt or frustrated?" It's essential to distinguish between these two types of anger. If we're angry because we're hurt or frustrated, it's a natural response, but we must be careful not to let it consume us. We should take time to process our emotions, and then pray for guidance and wisdom. As we pray, we should ask God to help us see the situation from His perspective and to give us the strength to respond in a way that honors Him. This doesn't mean we won't feel pain or frustration, but it means we'll be able to respond in a way that's pleasing to God. As I've learned from my own experiences as a father and a pastor, it's not wrong to feel angry or hurt when we see our children suffering. However, it's wrong to let that anger consume us or to respond in a way that's not pleasing to God. We should pray for wisdom, guidance, and strength, and we should ask God to help us see the situation from His perspective. By doing so, we can respond in a way that honors Him and brings glory to His name, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
