Psalm 77: Lament
We are called to grieve but as those with hope. But how do we do that? Psalm 77 gives us a window into how a faithful follower of God lamented the sorrows and pain of this world. He entered into genuine questions while lifting his eyes to remember the promises of God. The way to trust God's character today and his future promises are to remember his former mercies. So when life feels overwhelming and God feels distant, tune into Psalm 77 and listen to the soundtrack of lament.
