Sometimes You Have to Yell at God

Sometimes you have to yell at God

Not because he can’t hear you,

But because you’re afraid he can’t hear your voice

Because he’s not answering your prayers

Because he’s not changing your situation

Because he’s allowing you to feel pain

Because you just need a release.

Sometimes you have to yell at God

Because you just don’t understand.

Don’t worry.

He won’t condemn you for yelling.

He won’t love you any less

For your apparent lapse in faith

Because in yelling at Him or to Him

You are acknowledging that you believe

No matter where you are in your journey

Whether you’re speaking in silence

Crying in anguish

Screaming in anger

Or laughing in celebration

He is listening.

He hears you

And the answer to your prayers

May just be closer than you think

Whether you understand the answer

Is a different force to be reckoned

As sometimes that answer

Seems so far from your desires

An ocean between your wants and needs

But God works in mysterious ways

And He is glorious

If we only have the faith to believe

So don’t silence your prayers

When you don’t get the response you want

When you want it

You are working on God’s time

And His time is the right time

Sometimes you just have to scream

If only

To know that you are being heard

He IS listening

Believe
