VERSE:
"Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the
anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my
soul."
-- Job 7:11

THOUGHT:
We sometimes think of God as too fragile, too distant, or too
brooding to speak with him honestly about our dilemmas. Job wasn't
so shy. He is the great reminder that God prefers us to maintain
our relationship with him, even if it is stormy. No matter where
you are in your struggles, be honest with God -- not
disrespectfully, but sincerely. Let him minister to your truest
hurts, frustrations, and fears, not just the simple and sanitized
ones.
PRAYER:
Abba Father, thank you for listening to my words and my heart.
Thank you for providing the Holy Spirit and my Savior Jesus as
intercessors for me before your throne. Thank you for wanting me in
your presence even when my heart is full of conflict and pain.
Thank you for loving me through my brokenness and strife. Most of
all, thank you for your promise of bringing me home to you to share
in your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
