Worship in Grief

Solid Rock Church Sermons

In this sermon, we studied Psalm 6, where David models how grief itself can become an act of worship as he vulnerably brings his pain before God. In this psalm, David is grieving not only his intense physical suffering but also the pressure from his enemies, which leads him to feel as though God is disciplining him in anger. However, instead of allowing his grief to drive him away from God, we see David bring his pain directly into God's presence. Through his tears, David recognizes God's graciousness and attentiveness, transforming his heartfelt lament into an act of worship. God responds to David's plea by comforting him with His presence, restoring David's hope, and turning his grief into a profound encounter of worship.
