Have you ever been in so much pain (physically or emotionally) that you practically howl? King David wrote what many theologians refer to as the “Howling Psalm” in Psalm 13. Shane & Shane has put this song of David to their own melody and titled it “Psalm 13” in their album of Psalms.
This song will help us meditate on this short and powerful Psalm this week.
On this episode I discuss:

This Week’s Challenge
Read all of Psalm 13. Then write out the Psalm two verses at a time and journal beneath that. Then pray this Psalm. Pray through your journaling. Finally, put this song on repeat this week and meditate on this Scripture. Brace yourself…it’s going to be a powerful and enlightening week.
