My Response to Adversity - Be Yourself
Be honest with God. Tell him how you really feel. Cut out the spiritual jargon and the cliches. Cry your heart out and tell him how much you're hurting. There is no protocol with God.
He can handle your immaturity and your tantrums. When I think of David asking God to break the teeth of his enemies, or Job telling God plainly that he didn't think he deserved the state he was in, or King Hezekiah beseeching God for an extension on his life while in the throes of a terminal illness, it comforts me that being real with God is what he wants. He already knows what I need and want, but he loves it when I come to him just as I am!
