Yes, I believe that God wants us to talk to him always - so on the days when we're frustrated and don't understand, I think He knows us so well that He is glad we are turning to him. Some of us pray differently. Maybe we start with anger or confusion and ask God to help us with it. That's okay. I am glad you continue to talk with God because as you said, he is within you and knows you. I'm glad you are not afraid to ask for help. That was such a big lesson for me. Take care of yourself and come back often! Jen,

I am going through a crisis in my life too. Like you, I "scold" God at times. Some people told me that I should not do such a thing. But, I believe that GOD resides within me as well. GOD understands me....GOD does not mind. Like you, I used to think that I am very tough, I am independent, etc...until I learnt the same lesson. I have to ask people for help...only then GOD can help me. Yes, it is OK to cry, to reach out and I am trying to move on..... Thanks, Cherie. I am going through a crisis in my life too.

ESPECIALLY love putting a ribbon on it. Very nice. And you're right, negative emotions are not good company! I love the visual of putting your problem in a box and handing it over.

I couldn't agree more with what you have to say about facing the tough times. Could have written every word of this post myself. I've said over and over when things were tough that I honestly don't know what people who don't believe in God do at such times. Chin up. You'll make it through. This, too, shall pass...

It's a little ritual I go through in my head, quietly. It might seem crazy to some, but it always makes me feel better afterword, like a weight has been lifted. It definitely helps put things in perspective and move on. I don't like to hang out with negative emotions very long, they're not fun company.
