I'm not really sure where I stand myself on this question, but I'm curious if there is a right way about going about our anger at God? I know David in the Psalms told God exactly how he felt, but David never swore or cursed at God. Perhaps David was thinking it, but never chose to express it out loud.
I've always thought of it as disrespecting God if I yell or swear at Him, but perhaps I am wrong in this. I've heard some people say that we should get our anger and frustrations out even if it means yelling and swearing at God because God can take it.
What does the Bible say about how we express our anger and frustrations to God? Is it considered a sin if we yell and swear at God?
I believe it is a matter of learning that Jesus is Lord and that is the way this life is since we are supposed to
not love this life but hate it enough to want to leave it when the Bridegroom comes. I am certain that once a believer learns this, they would apologize and ask for forgiveness for yelling at God for something that is temporary & fleeting anyway in light of eternity.
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
It is the cost of disciples to hate this life and our loved ones so we can leave it our lives and loved ones down here when the Bridegroom comes.
Luke 14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
So consider the cost of being His disciple against the cost of loving this life more than Him. If we love this life and love the cares of this life and our loved ones, more than Him, we may find ourselves tempted like Lot's wife to not want to leave.
Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
So maybe if we look at why God "allow" the fallen world to get to us, is to remind us where our hearts should be... on the things above. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask Him for help to let go and pray that He will help you escape the coming calamity.
Luke 21:3 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
