Andrew & Anne Fountain - How We Should Bring our Complaints to God (Psalms 54 & 142)

  • A third of the book of Psalms is devoted to bringing complaints to God.
  • But the form of these complaints is very specific.
  • By giving us so many pslams in this form, God is telling us that he wants to hear the honest cries of our heart,
  • but also teaching us how he wants us to bring these complaints to him.
