Why Won't God Just Take My Destructive Anger Away?

Season 2 Episode 43

Hey Mama, ever asked the Lord why he won't just take your destructive anger away?

Struggling with destructive anger, shame, guilt, or overwhelm? In this episode, we dive into the question, “Why won’t God just take away my destructive anger?” Discover how God’s gift of free will invites us to grow through our struggles, lean on His grace, and build stronger relationships with our kids. Through personal stories, scriptures, and practical encouragement, you’ll learn how to pause, process big emotions, and ask, “Lord, what are you teaching me? Where are you growing flowers from my dirt?” Plus, find out how your growth can become a gift to others, helping them navigate their own challenges.

Key Points:

  • God doesn’t take away our struggles because He gives us free will, inviting us to choose His way and grow in faith (Galatians 5:16-17, Ephesians 5:10).
  • Managing emotions is like starting a new exercise routine—it’s hard at first, but with practice, you build strength to choose God’s path.
  • When we slip up, God’s grace covers us, and recovery helps us move forward (Romans 7:22-25, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10).
  • Our struggles produce “flowers” (growth and healing) that we can share with others, like supporting a friend or modeling grace for our kids (Ephesians 5:18-20).
  • Tools like the Trigger Tracker and SIT & Pray can help you process emotions and seek God’s will (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).
