Honest communication is crucial element to any great relationship: God, spouse, children.
Consider how ludicrous it is to not be real with God:
He knows what is in our hearts
He knows what we are really seeking
He knows what we need
Only honesty with God makes sense!
Moses:
He questioned the wisdom of God's choice
Argued his lack of eloquence
Says he does not want the responsibility
He is honest - he gives God something to work with - Exodus 4:13
David - example of his Psalms:
Why do you hide yourself in trouble? - Psalms 10:1-2 - logically does not make sense but this is where David was
Later, he works it out in prayer (v17) - LORD, you have heard the request of the oppressed; you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.
It is in our openness that we hear our faithlessness and can turn away from it.
God wants a relationship with you
He wants to know our longings, aspirations, problems, anxieties, doubts, and even our sin
