Deleted Scene1: The saddest Psalm

06/01/03 | by [mail] | Categories: family/personal

This morning I said that all of the Lament Psalms end with an expression of trust except for one. The one that doesn't is Psalm 88. The closing line of the Psalm is " the darkness is my closest friend." Read the Psalm and then come back and we can discuss it by posting comments.Here are some questions:What could have caused the writer to be so bummed out?What is the saddest point in your life so far?Have you ever felt like you were calling for help and God was hiding from you (cf. verses 13 & 14)?You guys can come up with some questions, too.
