Finding Life in a World of Lament - A Nighttime Prayer


1x
“Get up, God! Are you going to sleep all day? Wake up! Don’t you care what happens to us? Why do you bury your face in the pillow? Why pretend things are just fine with us? And here we are—flat on our faces in the dirt, held down with a boot on our necks. Get up and come to our rescue. If you love us so much, Help us!” – Psalm 44: 23-26 (MSG)

Please Pray:

Lord, teach me the elements of lament. You cried out as you ministered, preached, suffered, and felt separated from your Father on the cross. Help me draw closer to you and to trace the outline of your character through lament. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen

He may feel insecure about being a dad, especially if he didn’t have the benefit of a good role model. Or maybe he feels more like an understudy because he’s “only” a stepdad.
