We know that Jesus is powerful. After all, He raised the dead, gave sight to the blind, and “rebuked” nature. There’s no doubt that He can do whatever He wants, any time He wants.
But is it possible for Him to calm my soul?
Our lives can be full of anxiety, fear, suspicion, danger, and sadness. We call on God to help us, but do we actually believe He can? Or, more specifically, how can we be know if He has?
For that, we turn to the Psalms of Lament. These psalms make up nearly 1/3 of the book of Psalms, and they are very relatable when we find ourselves in tough times. They also teach us a lot about our own faith and how it practically intersects with the world around us.

CloseIn all my years of church going and church preaching, I have never -- in my life -- heard a sermon about Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Why is that? Sure, there's not a lot of info about him, but he's just as important to the story as Mary is (within reason). Moreover, Joseph is called a "righteous man" -- one of only 13 people in the entire Bible to have such a designation. There is obviously something we can learn from his life, otherwise he wouldn't be a part of Scripture. Especially if we want to be righteous as well.
