You may be surprised to know that many Christians are angry at God, though I suspect most would never say it that way. We frequently recategorize our anger to lesser-sounding offenses like disappointment with God or “I’m just frustrated.”
Euphemisms soothe the pinging conscience, especially when we’re at our pain threshold already. Why compound the problem using biblical nomenclature when I can have a softer landing borne upon culturally pleasing wordsmithing? https://lifeovercoffee.com/im-angry-at-god-because-he-did-not-help-me-when-i-needed-him/

Focus on the Cause, not the Effect, so you can remove the cause and not be affected by the effect.
A local church’s worship value is not primarily about the music but the lifestyle because you never ask, “Are you worshiping?” The reason is that we worship all the time. God made us for worship—wired us for worship, you could say.
Worship is part of what it means to be image-bearers. Who could do otherwise? The better question is, “What or whom do we worship?” https://lifeovercoffee.com/three-characteristics-of-a-fantastic-local-church/
Whenever a person chooses sinful anger, he is, in effect, giving the other person control over him. It’s counterintuitive. In his anger, he is like a marionette, a puppet on a string.
Anger toward someone is the total submission of their thoughts, attitudes, emotions, and behaviors to the other person. It is not self-control, as governed by the Spirit of God, but someone out of control or under the control of another spirit. https://lifeovercoffee.com/podcast/ep-110-help-for-the-angry-person/
