Your Question:
Is it wrong to feel angry at God for not healing my child?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many parents struggle with feelings of anger and frustration when their child is sick or in pain. It's natural to feel a sense of disappointment or even anger towards God when we're faced with a situation that seems unfair. But the question is, is it wrong to feel angry at God for not healing my child? The answer is not a simple yes or no. As I reflect on my own experiences as a parent, I've come to realize that my anger is often rooted in my own emotions and expectations, rather than a righteous indignation towards God. When I feel angry or frustrated, I need to take a step back and examine my heart. Am I angry because I'm hurt or disappointed, or am I angry because I feel God has failed me? The Bible teaches us that anger is sinful when it's motivated by the wrong reasons or leads to wrong actions. So, it's essential to pray through our emotions and ask God to forgive us and guide us to the root of our anger. In the midst of our emotions, it's crucial to remember that God is a God of justice, and He is gracious and generous. Even when we don't understand His ways, we can trust that He is working everything out for our good. As a parent, I've learned to pray for my child's healing, but also for God's wisdom and guidance in the midst of their pain. I've come to realize that God's ways are not always easy to understand, but they are always just and loving. By praying through our emotions and seeking God's wisdom, we can learn to trust Him, even when we don't understand His ways.
