Welcome to One Single Story, where each weekday Pastor Stephen Mizell and co-hosts Pastor Jay Rivenbark and Pastor Sheryl Daughety draw a brief, practical lesson from the One Year Bible. Today we are in Psalm 102, exploring how honest, raw prayer can coexist with deep, unwavering faith.

Scripture Focus: Psalm 102:1-28 - A psalm of lament written in personal distress that moves from grief and exhaustion toward hope anchored in God's eternal nature.

In This Episode:

Why prayers of lament reflect intimacy with God, not a lack of faith
How to bring raw emotion to God without abandoning trust in him
How God's eternal perspective brings comfort in our most difficult seasons

Key Quote: "A lament in its truest form allows us to bring all that raw emotion to God, but we don't do it and then stomp away. We do it with faith."
