It's things like Psalm 22.

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from me?

I like, I cry out by day and I hear no answer.

And I think what's interesting that I find with the Bible is its transparency in saying we're going to struggle.

There's this really great story in the Gospel of John.

Well, it's in a couple of the instances of the Gospels where John the Baptist, who's like Jesus' cousin and good friend,

He's been in prison because he's been speaking out against Herod.

He's been being a little bit too verbal politically.

And so he gets taken and he's in prison.

And though he's the one that baptized Jesus and said, you know, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

When he's in prison, he doubts.

And he sends his disciples over to Jesus to ask, are you the Messiah?

Are you the one we're waiting for?

Or should we be waiting for another?

Now in that interaction, Jesus actually says that,

John the Baptist is the greatest of all men born of women, which is basically everybody, right?

And yet, in that very same setting, John the Baptist is doubting

That Jesus is who he says he is because he's experiencing pain and suffering.

Yeah, it's a good point.
