The Psalms as honest prayer

The Psalms permit rage, doubt, and despair in prayer, modeling a radical honesty that refuses to perform false peace before the sacred. They teach that the deepest conversations with what is holy must include the full texture of human feeling—anger and abandonment alongside gratitude and praise.
