Some of us have been taught that there are things we shouldn’t say to God or feelings we shouldn’t express. ~  The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Locations 1040-1041).

Good little girls don’t say that.
You should respect your elders,
those in authority. Don’t bother them
with little things, with ideas and subjects
not important enough for significant people.
And who can be more momentous than God?
Doesn’t God deserve respect? Reverence?
Proper language…church-appropriate words?
Even the word profane–or profanity–
means outside the temple! So surely
we can’t talk to God that way!
Didn’t Paul say not to let unwholesome speech
come from our mouths? Surely we can’t pray with it!
But we can. God wants honesty, the truth,
real feelings. And no matter how poorly we express ourselves
my father God is delighted to have a chance for me to talk
and to listen. And he loves us still.
