Honest Prayer and Lament - 3
“How long, Lord? Will you forget me
forever?” (Psalm 13:1)
Psalms teaches us that even our groans are prayers.
God is not distant from our pain; He welcomes raw
honesty. When we cry out “How long?” we join the
voices of countless saints who have waited, wrestled,
and wept before us. Lament is not lack of faith—it is
faith daring to speak. As we pour out our sorrows,
God bends low to listen and promises joy in the morning.
Prayer:
Father, hear my cry when words fail and tears speak
louder. Hold me close when I cannot see Your hand.
Teach me that lament is a doorway to deeper trust in You.
Amen.
