They Are Like Broken Clay On The Ground,

I have heard it many times that people say they argue with God.
Proclaiming that it is healthy. But my view is that if they embrace
that attitude, they still haven't accepted the will of God. For if we
have accepted His will we are to believe and to trust in Him with
all our hearts and minds. Otherwise what are we saying. Yes I
trust you Lord but on the other hand saying I don't think you are
right all the time. God is our Divine Father and we are His sons
and daughters. He is without blemish. We in our feeble minds
think that we know better. Well that will never happen because
only He is pure and we are not. We have no idea what is around
the corner, only God knows that. We, however can not see that
far. So it is for us only to trust and obey. In that way we have
surrendered to God.

There is a distinct difference though between quarreling and questioning. King David questioned God liberally and wholeheartedly, from a sorrowful, hurting heart. There's nothing wrong with asking why.

The disciples in the boat, though, they didn't question why Jesus had not acted to calm the storm. They asked whether or not He cared that they were about to die.

Somewhere between the two is the line that shouldn't be crossed. The difference, and the line, lie on the attitude of the person asking the question.

Once I did take my question to God, and I did so with a brokenheart. He responded that very night in a dream jsut for me. The following day, while walking and "prayer-talking to Him," I realized just how evil mankind is without God in mind. Suddenly I realizee,d , I too am a mn of mankind. It hit melike a sledge hammer. I said, "Wow, you are IT:" I turned in that instant from looking at the creation to seeking to please the One Who made all that is. His Holy Spirit entered into me, with the message, "Everything is going to be just fine." I believe Him, amen Praise God. He is worthy, not we.

Jesus Himself pleaded with the Father, "If You be willing, please remove this cup from Me..."

He ultimately cried out on the Cross, "Why have You forsaken Me?"

God totally understands our grief, fears, and heartfelt cries. He knows our framework, and how He formed us from dust. [Psalm 103:14]

Btw, the word "woe" in Isaiah 45:9 is not a warning, it's an exclamation like "Alas", or "Oh".

Basically saying, "Hey, you who are struggling with God..."
