The Psalms remind us that God never expected us to pretend we were okay. Instead, He gave us a collection of prayers filled with honest emotions, fear, sorrow, confusion, loneliness, anger, hope, and trust. David and the other psalmists weren't afraid to ask difficult questions like, "How long, O Lord?" or "Why have You forsaken me?" Their honesty wasn't a sign of weak faith; it was evidence of a real relationship with God.
