A Modern Prayer of Lament from Darrell Johnson at The Way Church on May 29. -- How long? How long is the language of lament. How long is the vocabulary of longing — the sigh of the tired soul clinging on to the hope of tomorrow. How long is the natural tongue of a heart attuned to the cries of the hurting. How long is the cry of a heart primed for action: a soul ready to give, serve, protest, pray and participate in the kingdom come. How long is an utterance of faith when life hurts like hell. We have faith that God will hear. Faith that God will comfort. Faith that God will right all wrongs. Faith that God will make wars cease from the ends of the earth. Faith that God will, one day, wipe away all tears. That day is coming. But how long O Lord?
