Psalm 137: A Prayer from Exile

Some verses in the Psalms are harder to understand than others. That’s why we have to do the hard work of studying context.  To imprecate means “to invoke evil upon or curse” one's enemies. Psalm 137 is a prayer of imprecation. It shows us that God wants us to bring the fullness of our emotions to Him, no matter how raw and unfiltered. Different seasons with God require different ways of talking to Him.  But honesty in prayer is only the starting line. Don’t miss this powerful message from Blake Zimmerman in week eight of Summer in the Psalms.
