Heart-To-Heart Talk with the Lord

Sometimes writing down or sharing with others what is going on with you can help you articulate it before God. You can read to God what you have thus far written in your journal. Or speak to him from your heart. Speak to him about your loss, your sadness, or even your lament. And be open and listen to what God may want to communicate with you. If nothing comes to you, simply be present to Him in your poverty.

Hanging on the Cross, Jesus cried out to His Father in the words of Psalm 22. Ps 22 is a lamentation and trust psalm. Read once the whole Ps 22. Then read it again, this time read it slowly. If an image, word, or phrase strikes you, stay there for as long as you feel you need to. How is it speaking to you? Spend time to converse with the Lord about it.
