This week's sermon explores Psalm 88, described as the most sorrowful of all psalms, to examine what honest prayer looks like when we face suffering without resolution. We're challenged to move beyond polite, formulaic prayers to authentic communication with God that acknowledges pain, anger, and confusion. Through this darkest of psalms—which ends without hope or answered prayer—the message reveals that being heard is essential to emotional and spiritual well-being. Even when prayers go unanswered and suffering persists, the psalmist demonstrates that maintaining connection with God through radical honesty preserves our dignity and meaning. The sermon concludes with the profound truth that despite unanswered prayers and unexplained suffering, we are not accidents—our existence has meaning and purpose in God's design.
