Job's honesty with God should not be taken as being disloyal. Job is committed to God's authority, but is truthful enough to speak to God as a child would to a father. It is all right when we face trials and challenges to speak openly with God about how we are feeling. He is big enough to take our complaining.
One practice that I try to implement when speaking like this is ending the conversation with something like, "Even though I would choose a different way. I am confident that You are in control, so I will trust in You even if the storm gets darker before it gets lighter because You alone are God." By doing this, I not only tell God that I am submitting to His authority, but I am reminding myself that my hope rests in Him who has great plans for me.
Heart and Soul,
BAG
