God gives us permission to present our honest questions before Him. He knows we will have anxious thoughts and troubling circumstances. It is what we do in these lamenting times that matter.
Unfortunately, I am guilty of often gossiping about God instead of taking my honest laments before Him in prayer. As a child of God, we can take our questions directly to God, even while our hearts are still filled with pain.
What do your prayers sound like right now? Do you have permission to express them in the context of a Christian community, and have you given yourself permission to lament them directly to God?
As we take our laments directly to God, He will meet us right where we are … not where we pretend to be.
