A speaker argues believers often blame each other for frustrations that really stem from God's silence or slow answers to prayer. Instead of hiding disappointment, bring your full honest self to God, including anger and hurt, for a deeper relationship with him.
Chapters
If we're being honest, some of us are not offended with other people at all. It's God whom we're offended with because we feel like he's taking too long to answer our prayers. We are upset because he didn't give us what we wanted when we wanted it and when we felt like we needed it, um, and just all the things. And for some reason, we have been taught and conditioned to believe that we should leave our humanity at the gate When we come to God, who is the person that we keep calling our Father. And if he is your Father, then why wouldn't you bring to him that you are upset with him instead of projecting onto other people your pity and your disappointment like it's their fault? You're not really offended with other people. You're offended with God, and you need to be honest with God and tell him. He's not asking you to leave your humanity at the gate. He's asking you to bring yourself fully human to him so that he can give you understanding.
