Peace, Pain and Praise

See that’s the irony. We find it so difficult to share our thoughts from the pits of life with one another, yet we have an entire book of the Bible - the longest book of the Bible - filled with these prayers from the pit. This summer we’re going to be working through some of these psalms, hopefully praying and memorizing some of these psalms, for they are our prayer book, given to us by God. One commentator writes: “The Psalms show us how to pray out in words (spoken or written) our deepest hurts and longings, our struggles that leave us anxious or angry, our confessions of guilt, and our joyful thanks and praise so that we share all of our life experiences with our God who listens and responds.  We lay out whatever it is that we feel and then we put our confidence in God.”
