The Psalms are full of prayer in the form of complaint and struggle. What do people think they are, Hallmark Cards? Helen Steiner Rice?
Doesn't anybody read the Psalms anymore?

Most Psalms end with “but you O Lord.” Complaining is not the point but God may work with it.

Absolutely. Does the word Lamentations ring any bells kids?
I am here to tell you that fear, grief, anger, rage, loss, utter despair are all taken to God correctly in the manner of the Psalms and Lamentation is the touchstone you must find instead of bottling up that poison of our souls.
Not all Prayer is in this manner — of course. Most of my prayer these days is in endless thanks and praise. But there was a time when I did not know how to come up from the depths.
