I have been angry for a long, long time, but I did not admit it to myself. I have been angry with my business partner that ruined the business and almost ruined my life. I have been angry because had to sell my car to pay the bills. I am angry, but I denied it.
Till I read a scripture and study
Ps 6:6 (NLT)
I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.
David poured out his heart with tears. He was completely honest with God. We can be honest with God even when we are filled with anger or despair because God knows us thoroughly and wants the very best for us. Anger may result in rash outward acts or turning inward toward depression. Be honest with God and He will help you turn your attention from yourself to Him and His mercy.
When I read this I realized that I do not have to hide my anger from God, He appreciates it when I show Him how I feel (he knows already in any case). It was like a weight rolled from my shoulders when I admitted my anger and frustration.
I am still angry, but I am working on honesty and openness to God.
