I say to God my Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?"
Psalms 42:9 NIV
God can take it. He can take your honest heart. God needs to be approached with fear and reverence, but God is a big God, and He already knows your true heart, so why not share with Him how you feel? Don’t hold anything back from God!
God wants honesty from His children. When you and I come to God acting like everything is okay, when in reality we feel that life has fallen apart, we underestimate the caring heart of God. God wants us to be willing to share our hidden thoughts with Him. He wants the intimacy in our relationship with Him to be stronger than any other relationship in our life.
You need to know that God is not obligated, nor will He always answer our questions why, but the open and honest communication with God builds our relationship, strengthens our faith, and helps us realize the peace of God in our life.
Be honest with God today. Tell Him your heart! Then be willing to accept His answer or lack thereof; knowing that His way is always best.

I may not see in front of me, But I can see for miles around when I look over my shoulder, and Lord, it`s clear. You`ve brought me here, So faithful every step of the way. What can I do but follow you, For You are the Way, the Truth, the Life, And You`ve promised never to leave me, My Savior, my friend, From beginning to end.
