Praying in the Darkness of Despair (Psalm 88, Part 2)


Calling to God (verses 8b-12)

In our despair we call to God for His full deliverance and mercy. May we wrestle with God in prayer, freely expressing our questions. Then may we experience God’s saving power while we have life. Only the living can call to God. Jesus gave us not death but resurrection and life.

Loving God, we feel confined and cannot escape. Our eyes are dim with grief. Every day we call to You. O Lord, give us Your life so that we can see Your wonders. Our spirits rise up and praise You, declaring Your love. Thank You for Your wonders and Your righteous deeds.
