Why does the Bible contain prayers filled with sadness, fear, guilt, and questions? David's Psalms remind us that faith does not require us to hide our pain from God.

In Psalm 13, the writer asks how long God will seem distant.

Psalm 23 offers comfort through the image of God as a shepherd, even in the darkest valley.

Psalm 42 expresses spiritual longing amid discouragement, while Psalm 51 is a prayer of repentance after sin.
