Sunday, October 14, 2012: Psalm 22:1-15
The psalmist knows loneliness. Even the most faithful believers have anguished over the fear that somehow God is not listening to their cries.
Our church’s Deacon Care Manual includes a brief section titled “What Not to Say to Someone Who Is Grieving.” It lists some grief responses that we’ve probably all used at some point:
“It’s all part of God’s plan.”
“God will never give you more than you can handle.”
