Just me trying to be honest with God.

“We must lay before God what is in us, not what ought to be in us.” C. S. Lewis

“O God, you have rejected us…” Ps.60.1 ESV

What do we do when we feel that God has abandoned us? We tell Him how we feel about it of course. But just because we feel that He has forgotten us, and all of us do from time to time, doesn’t mean that He has. I think it is important to pray honestly. If we doubt God, we should tell Him. Sincere prayer is one place Christ can meet with us, shape us, and change us. There are times when I feel like my conversations with Him are more like a wrestling match. But I felt the same way when my earthy dad was teaching me how to swim and ride a bike. 5/5/2009 Conversations Within ts
