I think there may be several theories on that one, and I think even priests may disagree as well here. My priest says it is ok, because it is like saying, "Lord, can you believe this....don't let our souls die over this." Another, I talked to, says, Oh no..., another, fine, another no....You should stay with what your heart tells you. We all have different walks. Some easier than others. Mine is not an easy one....so when I know I am ready to explode, I do say that, because I know if I do explode that if Christ came at that moment, I am doomed! lol. For me it is a plea of Help me, take this rage from me, forgive me, forgive them, don't let our souls perish for this momentary fit of anger, or stupidity, or whatever...Oh, and one more thing. Isn't saying "Lord" taking God's name in vain as well? I only say "Lord, have mercy" in prayer. I don't feel comfortable saying it just any time.
