““Many of the psalms teach us how to sing the blues. God provided those songs and prayers for us, because he knows we live in this kind of messy, broken world. When we suffer and it doesn’t really matter how, sometimes it’s hard to find the right words. We want to pray and speak to God, but we can’t get the words. God gives us the right words, the perfect words, and he gives them in a form that speaks to the heart – in poetry that’s meant to be set to music. When you suffer, let me encourage you to open your Bible or your Book of Praise to the psalms and use those prayers to speak the words you need. Pray and let your gracious God give you the words.””
