Scripture can support you, but it is not a replacement for emergency help, therapy, or pastoral care. If you may hurt yourself or someone else, call emergency services or a crisis line now.

Questions People Ask
Is it okay to be angry at God?
Yes. Scripture includes lament, protest, grief, and direct questions to God. Honest anger can become prayer when it is brought into relationship instead of hidden.
How do I pray if I am mad at God?
Start with the truth: what hurt, what feels unfair, and what you do not understand. Then ask God to stay near while you process it.
