Isn't it interesting that we disallow "giants of the faith" their own inner workings, forgetting that their doubts are the stepping stones to their growth? I like your comparison to the psalms: "When we look through the Psalms we find very similar themes when the writers call out to God and ask why he seems so distant." Thank goodness that God is not shocked by our questions, our anguish, or our anger. In fact, praying the psalms is often the perfect outlet for much that we can't find words for. Nice ruminations!
