Come to God Just As You Are...Be Real

Job Chp 3

The question here is when Job spoke after he had been afflicted by "painful sores", did he speak aloud in vain or was he speaking to God?

I am not sure if we will ever know but the point to me is clear: we need to be real, real in our relationships with others and real in our relationship with God.  On this latter point, we need to think of our relationship with God as if we are talking to our spouse, our children or anyone else - we need to be real.

My Prayer: Lord, You are an awesome God, caring about us and loving us through thick and thin and we know we can come to you with anything and you will comfort us.  Forgive me when I doubt you and help me trust you more in your power, might and love.
