What do we do when life doesn't make sense? When grief lingers, prayers seem unanswered, or our hearts are weighed down by sorrow?

In this episode of Summer in the Psalms, we're joined by Cynthia Hester to explore the Psalms of Lament—the prayers God has given His people for seasons of pain, loss, confusion, and waiting. Together, we discover that biblical lament isn't the absence of faith; it's one of the deepest expressions of it. The Psalms teach us to bring our honest questions, tears, and disappointments before the Lord while anchoring our hope in His steadfast character.

Whether you're walking through suffering yourself or want to better understand this powerful genre of Scripture, this conversation will encourage you to pray honestly, trust deeply, and see how God meets His people in their sorrow.

Join us as we continue our Summer in the Psalms series and learn why the Psalms of Lament remain some of the most hope-filled prayers in the Bible.
