Is it ok to question God?

The idea that we as humans, creatures that were created by God, could ever question Him seems crazy to some people.  But this is not a bad thing, and admittedly everyone does this at least once in their life.  Many question God before they accept salvation; making sure that through Jesus is their only hope for salvation.  Others question God during hard times, like when a loved one dies or something tragic happens to them.  There are many people in the Bible who have questioned God and it was ok.  Job questioned God multiple times about his suffering and Moses questioned God about his role as leader of the Israelites, just to name a couple.  Asking questions is ok, as long as we are willing to accept the answer God provides.  Also asking these questions helps us to heal and understand what is happening on a larger scale.
