Why do we human beings avoid expressing pain, even to God? Why hold onto to it? It would be like having an open wound and a doctor says, "I can sew that up for you. I can take care of it and give you everything you need to heal that wound." And you're being like, nah I'm good and don't even let the doctor take a look. I think it's the process. Releasing it means you have to go through it (not around it) you have to fully experience that pain. So instead you avoid it.
I pray and I barely get passed, "I'm in pain Lord". I simultaneously hold two beliefs,1: my pain isn't enough to bother God with because someone else has it worse. And 2. I'm in so much pain I need Him to take it away.
Imagine going to the hospital for a broken leg and the doctor refused to treat you at all because he had other patients with worse injuries. Not just you had to wait, but the doctor refused treatment at all because it wasn't serious enough? We don't expect that out of a doctor. But out of God? Or me...maybe this is just me. Who feels this way.
