MADNESS

But that's the thing, you can be mad. You can get mad. That is totally OK. You can shout at God. You can tell Him how mad you are. Shout your frustrations. Don't hold it in. It is OK to get furious, to not understand. To want to yell at God. Because it sucks. And it's going to feel that way. But sometimes, shouting at God is what we need to do. It doesn't make him hear us better, but in our frustration, when we turn to Him, we acknowledge the fact that we know He is in control. We know that He has the answer. We know that He's the one that truly has our best interest at heart. So when we are mad. When we are angry. When we are frustrated, that's not something you turn away from and tell yourself to ignore. However, you don't linger there. You move on. To conversations with God, turning to Him in prayer and refocusing that anger and frustration into something positive by trusting in Him and knowing that He will ultimately work everything to good. And unfortunately, there is no timeframe for when God will answer you. You may feel even worse. But unless you take your troubles, your frustration, your anger, guilt, madness, shame. Until you voice those feelings and bring them to God, you're only going to feel worse.
