A prayer of lament by

A prayer of lament by Debbie Prisbilski. I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end he will stand upon the earth and

after my skin has been destroyed yet in my flesh I will see God. I myself will see Him with my own eye. I and not another.

How my heart yearns within me.

Job 19- 25 through 27. Did you know that even in sadness you can worship God in prayer?

You can worship Him in the midst of difficulty through a prayer of lament.

There are many of these kinds of prayers in scripture.

All the major Bible characters poured their hearts out to God and lament. This is a type of prayer that we rarely hear about,

yet at times it is a necessary part of each one of our prayer lives.

When experiencing the dark night of the soul, prayers of lament are so helpful.

We live in a broken world where things do not always go right. There are times when we don't know what God is doing or which way

to turn. Bringing before God a prayer of lament can make all the difference in the world

because God actually changes us during these times when we

pour out our hearts to him. Prayers of amends are a form of worship and faith.

We worship God even in the midst of pouring our difficulty out before him.

Instead of backing away from God during a hard time or a dark night,

we face the pain and worship him with it.

As an act of love, we offer it all to God.
