Praying in the Darkness of Despair (Psalm 88, Part 1)


In the darkness of our despair may we turn to God, freely sharing our frustrations. In this world of suffering and pain, in our misery and sorrow we can be honest about our feelings to God, expressing our sorrow as carefully as we express our praise.


Pleading for Life (verses 1-8a)

In faith we can plead with God day and night knowing that since God has given us salvation He will hear our prayers. When we most need friends in our times of despondency, we have the consolation that our Lord Jesus knows our experience. Therefore we may patiently wait for God’s deliverance with hope.

O Lord, God of our salvation, let our prayers come before You. Incline Your ear to our cries! Our souls are full of troubles, and we feel we are counted among those who go down to the pit. We have no strength. We feel we have become repulsive to our closest friends. Draw us closer to You through Your Son, Jesus Christ.
