Welcome Back to my Inspirational Blog, Dare to Trust God! My hope and prayer is that you will be encouraged, inspired and motivated to make positive changes in your life while developing a deeper trust in God.
Each of us at some point in our lives has experienced tragedy, loss, pain or disappointment. In these "instances of deep hurt", we may have made the decision to lash out at God--to be angry with Him. Many of us hold onto that anger for years--not realizing how it subconsciously controls your decisions. Some of the poor decisions you have made in your life may have resulted from your holding onto this anger. Real Talk . . . The anger you are holding onto is actually a "mask" covering the pain that you are afraid to confront. This "mask" may take the form of drinking, smoking, drugs, gambling, sex addiction, abusing someone, bullying, greed, lying--the list is endless.
To digress for a moment . . . think about when you were a child and your parent or caregiver made a decision for your "young life" which you felt was unfair or unjust. You became angry with your parent or caregiver, not really understanding the reasoning behind their decision. I believe no matter how "grown", "educated" or "technologically advanced" we think we are, (in many cases) we will never be as wise as our parents or caregivers. Their life experiences will always trump ours, because they have been on this planet long before we were alive. This in no way negates the fact that some of our parents or caregivers made poor judgment errors, not knowing how to properly handle the challenges they were facing. However, I hope you get my point.
The other side of the coin has to do with things that occur in our lives for which we have no control over or no rhyme or reason as to why it occurred. We are all in the same boat concerning this issue. Although I cannot walk in your shoes relative to the pain you are experiencing, I am praying for your healing. Having experienced pain in many different capacities, and being able to release that pain, here is my suggestion: Instead of carrying the weight of that anger (masking the hurt), why not make a decision today to release it. Talk to God in your own way--even if you are angry with him--letting Him know how angry you are with Him; but also let Him know how sorry you are for being angry with Him. More importantly, ask Him to heal your pain--to remove the weight of that pain--to help you to understand why it occurred.
Then, choose to break free from your hurt, your pain or anger. You have the power within to stop hiding under the proverbial rock. Ask God to help you to release your anger, and He will help you to unlock the door to your hurt.
May God's love, grace and peace saturate your soul.
