Psalm 88 plunges us into one of the darkest chapters of Scripture, a lament without resolutions that ends in abandonment, isolation, and darkness. How do we keep coming to God in prayer when we’re experiencing this dark night of the soul?

Everyone faces many problems in life. Troubles with relationships. Struggles at work. Insecurity with finances and and sadness within our families. In a fallen world, we are often wrestling with the sin that has been done to us. While these categories are important, and the Psalms gives us language for addressing the sin done to us, Psalm 130 points in a different direction and helps us face the sin that is done by us. The Psalmist addresses us in the depths of our own sin, but also points us to the heights of redemption that is promised to God's people.   Psalm 130
