The Psalms of lament express grief and sorrow to God over difficult circumstances, yet they accomplish more than just releasing pent-up emotions. They are transformative in that they give us a way to come to God with our pain, while ultimately leading us to have greater confidence in God. These Psalms can be a blueprint for transforming our own hearts. Learning to pray our own prayers of lament can lead us from a place of pain to greater faith, praise, and joy amid the worst of circumstances.
