You might be one of those people who spout off when they\u2019re angry\u2014you know, who just let the words fly even if you end up saying things you don\u2019t necessarily mean. On the other hand, you might be someone who holds your anger in. You might find it hard to form complete sentences\u2014cohesive thoughts, even\u2014when your temperature goes up.<\/p>\n

Wherever you find yourself on that spectrum, you may find it hard to pray when you\u2019re angry<\/a>. Maybe because you\u2019re afraid to really tell God what you\u2019re feeling or thinking because, well, He might let loose with a lightning bolt or two. Or you may just not have the words to express your anger<\/a>\u2014and it takes words to pray, right?<\/p>\n

If the Bible is any kind of guide\u2014and it is\u2014then it\u2019s not only possible to pray when you\u2019re angry; it\u2019s apparently something worth doing. God\u2019s people in the past not only did it, but they recorded some of those prayers in scripture\u2026and saved them for future generations! So what do the Bible\u2019s \u201cangry\u201d prayers<\/a> teach us?<\/p>\n

1) Let It Out<\/strong>
\nIf God\u2019s praying people of the past are any kind of model, you can just let out what\u2019s really, truly in your heart and mind. God sees it and knows it already, so you might as well share it in prayer. Whether it\u2019s anger at yourself, circumstances, other people or even God, who better to vent to than the sovereign, omniscient God who created you and loves you? Let it out. Vent.<\/a> For as long as it takes. Follow the example of David, who prayed:<\/p>\n

All night long I flood my bed with weeping
\n and drench my couch with tears.
\nMy eyes grow weak with sorrow;
\n they fail because of all my foes (Psalm 6:6-7, NIV).<\/p>\n

2) Say What You\u2019re Afraid to Say<\/strong>
\nJudging from the psalmists\u2019 example, God values brutal honesty.<\/a> He wants us to pray what\u2019s really in us, not what we think He wants to hear. So, go ahead and pray your anger. (It\u2019s hard to pray through<\/em> your anger if you won\u2019t express<\/em> your anger.) Maybe that\u2019s how we can understand the kind of emotion that caused psalmists to pray about an enemy, \u201cMay his children be fatherless,\u201d and \u201cMay a creditor seize all he has\u201d (Psalm 109:9, 11, NIV).<\/p>\n

Yes, those are some strong words. Emotional. Raw. And later in the psalm, the guy confesses, \u201cI am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me\u201d (Psalm 109:22, NIV). No kidding. But trying to suppress or deny your emotions prevents you from working through them<\/a> and finding compassion and forgiveness.<\/p>\n

3) Trust the Holy Spirit to Interpret for You<\/strong>
\nThe Apostle Paul wrote:<\/p>\n

The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God\u2019s people in accordance with the will of God (Romans 8:26-27, NIV).<\/p>\n

Sometimes, when I haven\u2019t been able to articulate<\/a> my feelings to God, I\u2019ve consciously called on the Holy Spirit to pray what I can\u2019t pray. And I believe He does. And He interprets those thoughts and emotions that are too deep\u2014or convoluted\u2014to find expression. So, trust Him to make sense of even your deepest pain.<\/p>\n

4) Return to What You Know After Expressing What You Feel<\/strong>
\nWe are thinking creatures and feeling creatures. And sometimes feelings short-circuit thoughts. In that case, we may need to express the emotions<\/a>, giving voice to the feeling side of our brains in order to remember and express truth from the thinking side of our brains. I think we can see that happening over and over in the \u201cangry psalms\u201d of the Bible. For example, in Psalm 70, David is clearly angry and hurting:<\/p>\n

Hasten, O God, to save me;
\n come quickly, Lord, to help me.
\nMay those who want to take my life
\n be put to shame and confusion;
\nmay all who desire my ruin
\n be turned back in disgrace.
\nMay those who say to me, \u201cAha! Aha!\u201d
\n turn back because of their shame (Psalm 70:1-3, NIV).<\/p>\n

Because a psalm is a song, I wonder if David sang those verses more than once\u2014many times, perhaps\u2014before he finished his prayer:<\/p>\n

But may all who seek You
\n rejoice and be glad in You;
\nmay those who long for Your saving help always say,
\n \u201cThe Lord is great!\u201d
\nBut as for me, I am poor and needy;
\n come quickly to me, O God.
\nYou are my help and my deliverer;
\n Lord, do not delay (Psalm 70:4-5, NIV).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s okay to pray about your anger.<\/a> Like David and other psalmists, you might even sing it (using a loud electric guitar, perhaps). And you\u2019ll probably find, when you\u2019ve thoroughly expressed what you\u2019re feeling, you\u2019ll be in a better place to pray the things you know to be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
