Psalm 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
How often do you pray like this? Is this how Jesus taught the disciples to pray? No!
Christ wants us to acknowledge God and Him for who they are, to lift up our prayers with confidence and have to faith to wait for them to be answered.
God knows what state we are in – we must be honest with Him and ask for the things we really do need... and He will answer!
