The Dark Night Prayer

Some prayers are bellowed in hearty belts of praise; others are uttered, barely discernible, in silent whimpers. Both are prayers in suitable season. Both are good prayers. The prayer of praise is usually formed by either the baby believer or the astute biblical veteran - believers at opposite ends of the spiritual maturity continuum. A prayer of praise in a time of arid dryness is tantamount to the glory of victorious faith.

They choose belief in deliverance, whether it comes or not. But it is the latter prayer of anguished lament that occasions this article.
