Is It Wrong To Be Angry With God?

Loss of a life, loss of a job and loss of a home. All these losses and more in our lives may cause us to be angry. Angry at the circumstances, angry at the consequences and even angry at God. But should we ever focus our anger at God for the seemingly devastating and hurtful things that happen in our lives?
As a grief and end-of-life counselor, I have sat with more than one person who has expressed being angry at God. I myself, even though difficult to admit, have been angry with God over circumstances in my life. And that is what has led me to investigate this issue through the lens of the Bible in the search for the truth.
In my search, I stumbled across another interesting question. Why do we not direct our anger at Satan, who is, after all, the proverbial fly in our ointment, the tempter and bringer of chaos (Job 1:7, Job 2:7, Matt. 16:23, Luke 22:3, 2 Cor. 11:4)? Why is it that we choose to lash out at our Sovereign Lord, who protects us, provides for us and has given us the opportunity for eternal life (John 3:16-17)?
