Michael S. Horton

“Nevertheless, we pray not only when all is well and we have a vivid sense of God’s presence and goodwill. Indeed, an even better time to pray is when God seems remote and his care is less than evident to us in view of our circumstances.34 In some expressions of Calvinism, a stoic resolve has been confused with reverence. One should suffer difficulties in quiet. In any case, one should never give vent, especially in public, to any frustration with God and his ways. No, Calvin replies; in this covenantal relationship, God even gives believers “license” to complain. He can handle it.35”
