Who knows more about brokeness than Job? Job lost nearly everything in his life..including his children..but he didn't lose faith in God. He was stripped of his fortune, his friends, his family and even his health. From the depths of despair, he still would not give up on God.
Instead, Job talked to God. He expressed his pain, his illness, his emptiness. He grieved his loss openly, never shutting God out.
We have a choice either to include God in our pain, or to exclude Him and try to make it on our own. Because of Job's strength in the face of testing and the fact that nothing could cause him to deny God, God blessed Job many times over and restored his life.
Be wary that your pain does not cause you to give God the cold shoulder. He wants to hear from you...and it's ok to tell Him anything..it's ok to tell Him how you truly feel. He knows anyway...and He cares deeply.
