Date: 29th September 2024

Passage: Psalm 88:1-18

-------------------

Ps William HC preaching from Psalm 88 for Mental Health Awareness Week.

Psalm 88 shows us:

  • Life can be dark – even God’s people admit it (v1–5, 15)
  • Life can be dark – but the LORD saves (v1, 9, 13)
  • Life can be dark – why are You behind this God? (v6–8, 16)

    • So why sing this psalm? (v10–12, 14)

    • to know we’re not alone in our lament
    • to learn it’s not always well in our lives
    • to hear His voice deeper in our darkness

    For reflection:

    • Is it OK for God’s people to feel darkness? Why or why not?
    • Share a time you felt like you felt darkness or depression like Psalm 88 described. How were your thoughts similar or different to this psalmist?
    • How can we make PCBC a safe space for people to share their sorrows to the God who saves?
