Prayer of Lament
(inspired by Psalm 77: 1-20)
God, we call out to you!
From the depths of our hearts, we cry,
�Lord, hear our prayer!�
We are consumed by grief.
The events of the past few days have overwhelmed us�
it�s hard to sleep,
it�s hard to eat,
it�s even hard to pray.
Where are you, God?
Deep down, we know that you love us�
we�ve experienced your mercy and your faithfulness in the past,
and it has sustained us through many difficult times.
We refuse to believe that you have deserted us,
or that you are unaware of the pain that we�re feeling.
And so we turn to you again,
longing for your presence,
looking for your comfort and peace.
Surround us with your unfailing love.
Remind us that you alone are God,
and that you hold us in the palm of your hand.
Give us courage and strength to face the days ahead,
and strengthen us in the knowledge that we do not face them alone.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, we pray.
Amen.
