Default Anger Lives in Sorrow’s House

Anger Lives in Sorrow’s House
by Max Lucado

Why does grief linger? Because you’re dealing with more than memories—you’re dealing with unlived tomorrows. You’re battling disappointment. You’re also battling—anger!

It may be a flame. It may be a blowtorch. But anger lives in sorrow’s house. Anger at self. Anger at life. Anger at the military or the hospital or the highway system. But most of all, anger at God. Anger that takes the form of the three-letter question—why? Why him? Why her? Why now? Why us? You and I both know I cannot answer that question. Only God knows the reasons behind His actions.

But a key truth on which we can stand is this—our God is a good God! Psalm 34:8 says, “Taste and see that the LORD is good.” God is a good God. We must begin here. Though we don’t understand His actions, we can trust His heart!

Anger is part of the grief process, along with bargaining. i.e. God if you will do this, I will never do it again. God help me, I will hand my disease over to you, but won't let go of the rest, I am just fine (frustrated, insecure, neurotic, and enjoying it).
