“Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.” – Psalm 79:9
I am sure at times that God gets disgusted with our behaviour and our lack of seeking after him. I'm sure there are moments when he acts to bless us only because we are his people and we wear his name.
But when we cry out, confessing our sins and shortcomings, he is still our Savior. Even when we are not what we should be, God can act out of compassion and preserve the glory of his name.
Questions in 1 Kings
17:20
And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
18:7
And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it
18:9
Then they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”
So he said, “Here, in the tent.”

. Life is a hard fight, a struggle, a wrestling with the Principle of Evil, hand to hand, foot to foot. Every inch of the way must be disputed. The night is given us to take breath, to pray, to drink deep at the fountain of power. The day, to use the strength which has been given us, to go forth to work with it till the evening. - Florence Nightingale
Scripture for Anger
Romans 12:19-21
Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
