That is where I want to be at this stage, I want fellowship and intimacy with Jesus. I cannot stand a theological dissertation of a program based canned sermon, it is dead.

All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears. David poured out his heart with tears. He was completely honest with God. We can be honest with God even when we are filled with anger or despair because God knows us thoroughly and wants the very best for us. Anger may result in rash outward acts or turning inward toward depression. Be honest with God and He will help you turn your attention from yourself to Him and His mercy.
