Being Honest

Questioning God sounds blasphemous to some people. They might say, "How dare you? How can you come before God and question him?" But I don't think being honest with God is blasphemous at all. I believe God wants us to to be honest because he wants a real relationship with us, not something plastic and half-hearted. I believe God much prefers to have his children come before him and say, "God, this makes no sense to me. I hurt so badly. I just don't understand. I don't think I'll ever understand, but, God, I love and trust you, and I rest in the fact that You know how I feel...I can't understand what is happening to me, but help me to glorify you through it all.
