The language of lament - Audio

Jeff Patterson, pastor of Renew Church in Oregon City, and the guest speaker at the Men's Muster, teaches today on Psalm 44. We often question our own experiences vs. the reality of God. God is faithful but we often don't recognize His faithfulness. If we’re honest, we ask God “why?” We can become disappointed, feel forsaken, and have difficulty trusting God. It’s the language of lament; a prayer spoken in pain that leads us to trust. We need to understand that this does not separate us from the love of Christ. He has taken care of this. He’s the one who hears our lament, having lived a life of lament and victory.
