About 10 years ago, I was so angry with God about a certain circumstance in my life. A few years later, I saw it with different eyes and realized what happened actually ended up being a good thing. I wrote in my journal, “Note to future self, if you’re mad at God, you’re misunderstanding something.”

Many years later, a different situation occurred and I found myself angry at God once again. I told Him, “God, I’m so mad at you” right as I picked up something off my bookshelf. When I did, it accidentally knocked a journal to the floor which opened. I knelt down to pick it up and my eyes caught the words, “Note to future self, if you’re mad at God, you’re misunderstanding something.” God is funny! 🤣

Here’s the thing: God is not our enemy. As believers, we have become beloved sons and daughters of a GOOD Father. God is good and all He does is good (Psalm 119:68). He never withholds anything good (Psalm 84:11). He gives good gifts (Matthew 7:11). And even when our real enemy causes real destruction in our lives, God promises He will work ALL THINGS together for our good (Romans 8:28).

If you are going through a rough situation right now, it’s ok to be honest with God about your feelings (He knows them anyway), but it can be all too easy to get stuck there. If you want to get unstuck, I would encourage you to ask God to reveal what’s true. Sometimes He will reveal the exact reasons why behind what happened, other times we won’t understand ‘til heaven – BUT God will always answer the prayer to reveal more of the truth of His goodness. “Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you…” Exodus‬ ‭33:18-19‬ **
