The Saddest Psalm

Psalm 88 shows that even when we can't find the good, when hope feels lost, the faithful go to prayer. Lament is not outside the Christian experience. The Psalmist doesn't ask for much. He only needs to talk, and asks God to hear him. Sometimes, that's all we can do. Children of God go to their Father when nothing else seems good, even when he seems far, because he's the only one who can do anything about anything.
