Psalm 88 Hello Darkness my Old Friend

“Psalm 88 makes people uncomfortable. It confronts the ways we pray and the ways we think prayer must be done. It confronts all of the memories we have of dark and lonely nights in our own lives. It confronts the relationship we have with God. It confronts each of us with its truth stripped bare of any nice platitudes. It shines a bright light on the darkest places where the human soul wallows.” (Beth Tanner)
