"I Am So Troubled I Cannot Speak:" What the Psalms of Lament Teach Us
Have you ever felt so depressed, you couldn’t even speak? Have you ever wondered what the Bible teaches about depression or sadness? The Psalms of Lament help us to understand how to grapple with such emotions.
This booklet is a study of eight of the Psalms of Lament, psalms which are characterized by a passionate expression of grief or profound sorrow. Why would David write, “I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears” or “How long, O Lord"? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Why would Asaph write that he was so troubled, he couldn’t even speak?
These psalms of lament are rich in learning as they teach us to pour out our hearts to God when we feel overwhelmed by trying situations. Each section covers one psalm and then offers a “reflection” designed to help readers reflect on the psalm on a personal level.
Have you ever wondered if it’s okay to openly express your “negative” emotions to God? The Psalms of Lament answer this question, and they teach us how to move beyond the lament to victory.
Psalm 13, for instances, shows us that we can openly and honestly talk to God when we are despairing, and we can ask Him for wisdom.
The Psalms covered in this booklet include Psalm 3, Psalm 6, Psalm 13, Psalm Psalm 22, 25, Psalm 32, Psalm 69, and Psalm 77,
We can learn powerful and practical lessons from this study of the Psalms of Lament.
