One third of the psalms are prayers of lament. Mark Vroegop defines lament as “a prayer in pain that leads to trust.” No one wants to learn the language of lament, but when sorrows come, lament is the means God has given us to pour out our hearts before him.
In this message on Psalm 102, recorded at TGCW26, Vroegop encourages believers to turn to God in suffering by acknowledging the reality of our pain while holding fast to our faith in his goodness.
