The Bible is often way more honest than the Church. You’ve probably noticed how many of the Psalms (the Jewish prayer book) are not happy-clappy but cries of unresolved pain. Only this morning I read a great example as part of my regular prayer time: ‘Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur. And he will hear my voice’ (55:17, NASB). That’s a lot of complaining and murmuring!
