The book of Psalms in the Bible has always been the prayerbook
of the people of God. Some Psalms are an individual prayer and
some are the prayer of the community. Some Psalms are for
praising or thanking God and others express trust in God. Some

The book of Psalms in the Bible has always been the prayerbook
of the people of God. Some Psalms are an individual prayer and
some are the prayer of the community. Some Psalms are for
praising or thanking God and others express trust in God. Some
are prayers of “lament” or expressions of grief and pain. The
“psalmists” (writers of the psalms) were very honest about their
thoughts and feelings when they spoke with God. Whatever it is
that you need to express with God can usually be found in the
book of Psalms.
If you are struggling and would like to speak with God, but quite
don’t know what to say, use a psalm. When you read it (aloud is
good!) the Holy Spirit will communicate all that needs to be said.
The individual Psalms of lament include Psalms 5,6,10,13,
25,26,27,38,142 and 143. Psalm 13 is listed below. In place of
“enemy”, you may wish to name your foe -- whatever is on your
mind and heart.
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my
heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes or I will sleep the sleep of death, and my
enemy will say, “I have prevail
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my
heart all day long?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God!
Give light to my eyes or I will sleep the sleep of death, and my
enemy will say, “I have prevailed,” my foe will rejoice because I
am shaken.
But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your
salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He had dealt bountifully
with me. (New Revised Standard Version)
