I know people who have a miserable relationship with God. Oh, it is true, they say all the right things and believe in all the right things but secretly they feel abandoned by God and believe God is not listening to them.
God is listening, I assure you, and he listens better than anyone I know. However, when we are "faking it" with him, pretending to believe in things we don't believe in, acting in ways that are contrary to what we really feel or find ourselves trying to earn God's love, he turns a deaf ear to us.
We don't have to earn God's love, we only have to be gut wrenching honest with him. If you are secretly mad at God, tell him so. If you are disappointed in God, let him know. If you feel God is withholding your good from you, ask him why.
If you don't understand God's ways and want to, tell him so. If anyone can handle "your truth" without judging or condemning you in any way, God can and when you are "truthful and honest" with God, he will be truthful and honest with you.
