There is a difference between questioning and doubting. My God why, is a question that Jesus eventually asked. From this article I read, it seems the AB was more asking questions…even if rhetorical about where were you God.
In the midst of his questioning, he rose up to the occasion in the same way the author of psalm 103 did in reminding himself of the things of God. Jesus in asking why of God, was no doubt referring to psalm 22 of which he also reminded himself that God didn’t abandon him, and that God was for him.
1/3 of the Scriptures is lamenting. Venting. Grieving. Questioning. God is not against that. For out of those ashes, we find true faith raising.
