If you are feeling anger in your life because of pain or injustice, consider praying Psalm 137 as a way to be open and honest with God. Imprecatory prayers are a way to be honest with God and to initiate a process of spiritual healing through God’s grace and mercy.
Some of the passages in the Bible don’t sit well with most modern readers. Passages like the imprecatory Psalms, the story of Judah and Tamar, Jesus dismissing the gentile woman at the dinner table, and Jesus’s command to hate our families. By exploring several parts of Scripture that challenge our understanding of the Bible and of God, we can strengthen our faith and find unexpected blessings in his Word.
