Let's normalise being honest with God - even when it's messy.

I thought God only wanted the polished version of me. I was wrong.

You don’t have to fix yourself to come to God. Read that again.

When my sister passed away, it took me a long time to finally be honest and tell God the truth about how shattered I felt.

I didn’t know where to start.

I felt ashamed for struggling.

I felt guilty for the questions, the anger, the sadness that wouldn’t go away.

I honestly didn’t think He wanted to hear any of it.

And even now? There are days I still don’t have the words.

For so long, I believed I had to be “fine” before I could talk to God and other people. I thought I had to hold everything together so no one would see the cracks - even when my heart was breaking.

He sees you in the mess, the guilt, the shame, the confusion.

He sits with you in the places you’d rather hide.

And He gently whispers, “You’re allowed to say you’re not OK.”

It’s often in those raw, vulnerable moments - the ones we’re tempted to avoid - that faith deepens and connection grows. God meets us in honesty, not perfection.

So today, I want to ask you something I’m learning to ask myself:

What’s one thing you need to be honest with God about?

If you feel comfortable, share it below.

You never know who might need the reminder that they’re not alone.
