Readings and Prayers of Lament
Day 6. Psalms of Lament: Psalm 12, 44 & 58
Psalm 12
1 Help, LORD, for no one is faithful any more;
those who are loyal have vanished from the human race.
2 Everyone lies to their neighbour;
they flatter with their lips
but harbour deception in their hearts.
Psalm 44
23 Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?
Rouse yourself! Do not reject us for ever.
24 Why do you hide your face
and forget our misery and oppression?
Psalm 58
1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?
Do you judge people with equity?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

I am sure you are aware that we are in the grip of the CoronaVirus pandemic. With that in mind, in this series leading up to Easter, where we are reading Scripture together, particularly Psalms of lament and repentance as well as the book of Lamentations. As each Scripture is read, listen in an attitude of prayer, and perhaps repeat the words to yourself. Feel the very raw emotions of the words and agony of the original writer and at the heart of God Himself. Yet also listen out for those little words of joy and hope that are hidden within. Then after listening, pray to God using that piece of Scripture.
Lamenting can be part of our worship & prayer life – as individuals and corporately - just as it was for the ancient people of Israel and the early Church. There is much to lament in the world at the moment, particularly regarding the Corona Virus pandemic. But as we lament, we also know that God is in control and that He has not left us alone in our lament but is by our side, embracing us and wiping our tears.
Today we are reading and praying Psalm 12, Psalm 44 & Psalm 58. Come on in!

Readings and Prayers of Lament
19 You, LORD, reign for ever;
your throne endures from generation to generation.
20 Why do you always forget us?
Why do you forsake us so long?
21 Restore us to yourself, LORD, that we may return;
renew our days as of old
22 unless you have utterly rejected us and are angry with us beyond measure.
(Lamentations 5:19-22)

Readings and Prayers of Lament
1 How the gold has lost its lustre,
the fine gold become dull!
The sacred gems are scattered
at every street corner.
-----
16 The LORD himself has scattered them;
he no longer watches over them.
The priests are shown no honour,
the elders no favour.
(Lamentations 4:1, 16)

Day 3. Lamentations 3
2 He has driven me away and made me
walk in darkness rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again,
all day long.
-----
21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Readings and Prayers of Lament
Day 2. Lamentations 2
1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger!
He has cast the beauty of Israel down from heaven to the earth,
and hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
2 The Lord has swallowed up all the dwellings of Jacob without pity.
He has thrown down in his wrath the strongholds of the daughter of Judah.
He has brought them down to the ground.
He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
(Lamentations 2:1-2)
