Topic: Psalm 88

Pastor Wes explores Psalm 88—arguably Scripture’s saddest song—and its raw, unresolved lament. Unlike most psalms, Psalm 88 offers no turn toward praise, no easy resolution. And yet, it gives us something profound: permission to cry out honestly to God, every day, from the depths of our sorrow. Through vivid metaphors of darkness, drowning, and isolation, the psalm invites us to voice our own heartbreaks and soul aches without needing to “wrap them up.” In this space of holy honesty, we’re reminded that lament can be faithful—and transformative.
