A season about growing in relationship with God ends not with a method or a programme, but with a recurring cry. Psalm 80 turns out to thread through almost everything we've discussed this season — community vs individual, unanswered prayer, setbacks that arrive despite clear promises, and what honest faith actually sounds like from the inside. The lesson guide even suggests replacing the Psalm's "us" with "me", which is a telling instinct: there's something real in that, but it's also exactly how our culture quietly nudges us toward a faith that is personal to the point of isolation. And then there's the provocative claim that God is angry at his people's prayers — not ignoring them, not delayed, but angry. That's worth sitting with.
