Her Renewed Strength Podcast | Episode 73

Hey sister!

Have you ever felt angry with God? OR, is that you right now? Maybe you are navigating a valley that doesn’t feel right or fair to you. Maybe, someone you know is going through something they don’t deserve.

Being in this world can sometimes make you wonder why God allows bad things to happen, and that might frustrate you or even make you angry at God. Today, I’m digging into this topic and recapping Jonah’s chapter 4 in the process.

I pray this blesses you.

Why you’ve got to check out today’s episode:

• Learn how to embrace your current situation with faith that God can make things work out

• Be aware of God’s grace and mercy so that you can extend it to others

• Identify any anger in your heart so that you can turn to God and ask for healing

“If you’re feeling angry because of how some situation is playing out, you benefit from asking yourself what you believe about God and where your trust truly lies.”

01.43 – A brief summary of Jonah Chapter 4 – the final chapter

• Jonah expresses his dissatisfaction with God’s actions in response to Nineveh turning toward the Lord

• Two times, God asks Jonah, “is it right for you to be angry?”

03.52 – It’s so important to remember that, while others may do things that culture sees as horrible or even things that culture says aren’t that bad (or not bad at all), sin, no matter what that sin is, separates us from God.

04.25 – How you might be justified in your anger toward God

05.54 – Reflection Questions to Help You Work Through Your Anger

1. What do you believe about God? Do you question that God is just when unjust things occur in the world or in your life?

2. Do you trust Him and His sovereignty completely?

3. If the answer to the latter is YES, you have to ask yourself: are you angry with God or angry with someone else. If it’s someone else, is that someone else YOU?

06.58 – One of the things that I found so intriguing in Jonah chapter 4

09.44 – Why I wanted to do this episode

10.42 – My encouragement for you…

Key Takeaways:

• Our anger at God is sometimes the result of not understanding the true cause of the issue. Usually, it’s unmet expectations.
