Prayer for When I Am Angry at God and Struggling to Forgive

Father God,

You know my heart better than I do. Right now, my heart is heavy, frustrated, and even angry at You. I don’t want to hide these feelings because You already see them. I don’t fully understand why certain things have happened—the pain, the loss, the unanswered prayers—and in my hurt, I’ve turned that anger toward You.

Lord, I confess my feelings honestly: I feel betrayed, abandoned, and confused. But deep down, I also know You are good, You are faithful, and You are love—even when I cannot make sense of it. I don’t want this anger to create distance between us.

Help me, Lord, to release my bitterness and my blame. Help me forgive the ways I feel You have failed me, even though I know You never truly fail. Teach me to trust again where my trust has been shaken. Teach me to lean on You even when I don’t have all the answers.

I choose today to surrender my anger and disappointment at Your feet. Heal my heart, restore my faith, and remind me that You are with me, even in my questions and my pain.

Thank You, Lord, that You are big enough to handle my honesty. Thank You that Your love does not change, even when my emotions do. Please bring me back into peace with You.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
