...rather, it is a problem of relationship between human beings and a God who wants desperately to love and be loved by us...God doesn't care so much about being analyzed. Mainly he wants to be loved. Nearly every page of his Word rustles with that message...it's a relationship between a passionate God- hungry for the love of His people- and the people themselves. All feelings of disappointment with God trace back to a breakdown in that relationship."
[Phillip Yancey, Disappointment with God]
I think that this sheds a lot of light on the struggle of disappointment with God. It's not an intellectual issue. It's an emotional, relational issue that centers in the hearts of humans, and connects with the heart of God.
