Honest Prayer

Pastor Bill Bush · May 23, 2021

Rather than treating sadness as an enemy to avoid or a wave to fight head-on, Pastor Bill draws from Psalm 13 to show that sadness is a feeling to be surfed wisely. Like David crying out honestly to God from years of wilderness wandering, we are invited to do three things: clarify what is truly underneath our sadness, cry out to God with raw honesty about it, and cling — as an act of will, not just feeling — to God's never-ending, unfailing love, choosing worship even before the wave of relief arrives.
