DESCRIPTION:
"Must read" according to Blake. Tyler Watson has written a fantastic guide to help those of us who have struggled or are struggling through a dark night of the soul. This devotional helps us to connect with scripture, our fellow Christ followers, and the Lord in the midst of our pain.. CLAYTON L WATSON said A very good tool to examine my relationship with God.. One of the best soul-searching devotionals I've ever read or used, causing me to reexamine my relationship with God. I really appreciate the structural format used and the attention on rereading the scripture daily, focusing on one verse at a time.
Readers meditate one verse at a time, pondering questions that explore the depths of this disquieting yet strangely comforting psalm. How do we pray when we face suffering so troubling that we feel utterly alone and begin to question God? Psalm 88 gives us a desperate prayer for deliverance when little hope remains. Praying along with this ancient psalm of lament will confront our understanding of God and our conceptions of what prayers God accepts. Its direct challenge to God to listen and act is both shocking and encouraging.My Companions are in Darkness: Devotional Readings on Psalm 88 guides readers on an eighteen day journey through this prayer-poem. This guide also contains brief essays on reading meditatively as well as the background of Psalm 88.
