Psalm of Lament

As part of a series on the Psalms I gave a message on the topic of Lament Psalms. Though I gave some overviews of the typical lament found in this book, the focus of the message was on Psalm 88. As this Psalm is the only Psalm of Lament that does not end with the thanksgiving and praise typically expected, we look instead to why it is important that this is included in the Bible, what it tells us about our sadness and lament today, and, most importantly, what it tells us about how God sees this emotion in us.
