Psalm 130
“Lament is different than despair. When we despair, we lose sight of God, even the possibility of God. Our song goes quiet and we close ourselves off. When we lament, we remain open – even just a little bit. Our voices, hoarse and weary, join the faithful chorus calling out to God, to remember us and re-member us, to remind us – somehow, someway – that we are not alone, no matter the struggles we face.”
