“Complaining to the Lord is a form of praying. This was Abraham’s lesson, “

When folks lose their firstborn after 20+ years, folks tend to look up up and yell— WHY LORD!

JUST my personal experience.....

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?

The Pope is actually accurate here.

Go back and read Abraham’s haggling with God.

There’s a history of kvetching (complaining) in Jewish tradition, including in their interactions with God.

Was there any hint of complaint in “Remove this cup from before me if possible.” Obviously Christ then said, “Let Thy will be done.”

My son was 15. My heartfelt cry was "I DARE you to make something good out of this".

After 2 years I am finally able to thank Him again.
