…God’s people cry out in lament, “How can we possibly sing the Lord’s song on foreign soil?” We have all found ourselves in this place at some point in life, even if we were not altogether willing to admit it. Maybe there is someone here tonight and you moved your lips to the songs of praise we sang, but nothing came out. Maybe there is someone listening who even now is choking back tears because you feel like you have lost so much or maybe even as though God has abandoned you altogether. You try to be strong. You try to put on a happy face for your family and friends, but as soon as your head hits the pillow at night the smile cracks and you feel like a broken shell. You know you are not supposed to feel this way and you believe that God is always with you, but if you’re really honest, you’re not always sure God is listening to your prayers. Maybe you’ve felt this way for so long you’ve simply stopped praying…
