"Then the Lord said to Cain, 'Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?'" Genesis 4:6
Why would God ask Cain these questions as if he didn't already know the answers? Perhaps he was giving Cain the chance to come to the right answer himself. Maybe he's trying to get Cain to stop and think before he acts.
For me there are times I feel righteous anger until I stop to really think about it, and then I know my anger isn't really righteous. It doesn't always help remove the anger, but it does help how I react to it.
Is God questioning you? Is he trying to give you the chance to think things through before you act on it?
