Wow...
You know what I find amazing about God? I can come to him any time.
I don't have to wait until my attitude turns from Scrooge to Polyanna; I can be honest with Him and ask for His help in correcting it.

"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him." James 1:8
I don't have to hide what I'm ashamed of; I can let Him heal my brokenness when I am honest about my sins and my wounds.

I don't have to struggle to explain my confusion, frustration or pain; He's the one who made me.

"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:19-22.
