应不应该向神愤怒祷告？
你能够想象一个人因非常生神的气，而苛刻地指责神吗？你曾经有过这样的胆量或者气得要责备神吗？我们来听听一个叫约伯的人，在他经受许多的患难时，向神说了些什么。圣经旧约中有一卷书叫《约伯记》，上面记载了约伯对神究竟说了些什么。约伯对神说:“你造我就是为了要毁灭我吗？你毁灭我是想要得到什么？我们向你祷告有什么益处吗?”苦难和忧伤常使人产生怀疑。祷告也许不会改变你周围的环境，但是它可以改变你。祷告使人改变。你将以一种新的方式去认识你自己，认识神。事实上，神希望我们与他理论，为我们的情况向他提出请求。如果说约伯从他所有的受苦以及对神的发问中得到了教训，那么他学到的就是——我们可以崇敬地、谦卑地靠近神，但又不必害怕。

26 SHOULD YOU PRAY AN ANGRY PRAYER?
Can you imagine being so upset with God that you would accuse him harshly? Would you ever have enough courage or be so mad that you would try to tell God off? Listen to what a man named Job told God in the middle of a lot of personal troubles. A story told in the Old Testament part of the Bible in the book called Job tells us some things he actually told God. Job said to God, “You created me just to destroy me? What do you hope to gain by destroying me? What profit should we have if we pray to you?” Hardship and sorrow often cause doubt. Prayer though may not change your circumstances, but it may change you. Prayer changes people. You get to know yourself and God in a new way. In fact, God want us to reason with Him and plead our case to Him. If Job learned anything from all his troubles and questions to God, he learned that we can approach God reverently and humbly yet unafraid.
