Psalms 06: Grieving Together

Corporate Lament Psalms: 12, 44, 58, 60, 74, 79, 80, 83, 85, 89, 90, 94, 123, 126, 129 In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the corporate lament psalms, which are those psalms where the writer is grieving on behalf of a people or nation, or writing songs that a community could use to grieve together. These psalms help us see how we can walk through difficult things alongside others, lean into the body of Christ in the midst of tragedy or trial, and know God more, even in that place. By his grace, God meets us deeply in our suffering, and as we walk through both the joys and the brokenness of this life we can even come to know him more—and we can do this together.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Have you ever walked through suffering alongside someone else or invited someone into your own grief? How did it feel different from grieving alone? Is there someone in your local church community who you know is suffering and needs someone to walk alongside them? Or if you are the one suffering, is there someone you could invite to help you bear your grief in a godly way? What aspect of God’s character is most comforting to you when you are suffering? Is it his nearness? His goodness? His kindness? His steadfast love?  How does meditating on God’s faithfulness, even in the midst of difficulty, bring you hope?  FOR MORE Give to Journeywomen Ministries  Listen on Apple Podcasts | Android | Spotify Follow Us: Instagram | Facebook Leave a rating & review Interviews do not imply Journeywomen’s endorsement of all writings and positions of the interviewee or any other resources mentioned.  On the Journeywomen podcast, we’ll come alongside you in the seasons and challenges of life to help you know and love God through his Word, to find your hope in the gospel, and to invest deeply in your local church as you go out on mission for the glory of God.
