You are only a human being. Who do you think you are to talk back to God? Does the clay say to the potter, “Why did you make me like this?” ~ Romans 9:20 (CEB)
God, you're not threatened by questions. But you are insulted by arrogance. Forgive me for presuming that I can talk back to you. Help me to accept what you are doing in the world and in my life. Sometimes the pain seems to be too much and I explode in anger. But I know that you are carrying out your plan and that eventually things are all going to workout according to your will. That's good, because I know a whole lot less than I think I know. And I most certainly know nothing compared to you. Amen.
