lulu 1931 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 1. When you pour out all your troubles to GOD and admit you mistakes you always feel better and can look forward to getting GOD's blessings with hope and praise. 2. We should praise GOD for he has done for us and then ask him to help us in times of trouble. 3. It is important to praise GOD to let him know you love him and want to follow him fut you need some help from him. You show this by daily prayers,praise and being a better follower of his rules.

aray1967 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? Thank you for putting this so simply - I read this Psalm 3 times and did not get as much out of it as I did when I read your replies to the questions.

lonnie617 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Because the Psalmist knows God and has complete trust in Him. He understands the true fact that God is in control and will make a way some how. It teaches us that along with our laments and prayer, praise must always be part of it. Praising the Lord uplifts our faith, and confidence in our Lord that there is nothing oo hard for Him to do. Praise keeps me focused on the Lord and when I do that regardless of what is going on around me, He knows about it. What a blessing to belong to Him!

What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? It is because the psalmist knew that whatever happens to us God will not leave us alone, instead of been sorrow or mourning for what is happening to us we should just thank God by giving Him all the praise. We have to be thankful to God in all circumstances. When we give Praises to God it shows how we are expressing our adoration to Him and we are putting Him where he deserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? Because the writer knows that God is there for them and they have an expectation that God will answer their prayer. This teaches us that we should have the same expectations in our own prayer life. Praise is important in our prayers because it acknowledges God's majesty and power. His holiness and awesomeness. It also puts us in our place. We are not God and never can be. Praise exalts and elevates God as it should it and humbles us as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda bass Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 This lament ends with an upswing of hope and praise because David chose not to stay in his pit of misery, but to climb out by expressing praise and thanksgiving to the Lord. What this teaches us about our own laments and prayers is that it is alright to pour out our heart to God, telling Him about our pain, hurts, and frustrations. Praise, the language of faith, is so important in our prayers because when we praise God and give Him thanks after we tell Him what we are feeling, our spirit will begin to lift, hope will arise, and faith will come out of hiding.

Don W Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Almost all of the laments in the Psalms end with an upswing of hope and praise because after the Psalmist has opened and poured out his heart to the Lord his God, then the Lord has turned his heart to praise and worship Him as the God who is sovereignty in control of everything that happens to him, and this gives the Psalmist (and us) much hope in what is going to happen to us who are under the goodness and grace of God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabral Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? 1. Because David was broken before God & poured out his heart before Him. He did not stop here but proceeded a step further by continuing to trust God & gave Him what was due to Him:praise & thanksgiving. This caused him to hope in God amidst his hopeless situatuion! 2. It teaches us to look to God & praise & thank Him inspite of our failures & circumstances. 3. Without faith it is impossible to please God [ Heb 11:16 ]. When we praise God, we acknowledge Him as our omnipresent ,omniscient & omnipotent God; a God for whom nothing is impossible. As we continue to praise Him, faith is released & we are filled with awe & reverence & look to God instead of our problems & circumstances!

Jewell Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 One of God's blessings is hope. He lets us know that there is always hope, in any situation. When things are at their worst, we must rely on hope and we must praise God for the blessings he has given us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 This psalm (and many others) finish with hope and praise, to up-lift the writer's spirits. When we take the focus off ourselves and our immediate situation we realise that it's not 'all about me' but is all about God. We also see that there are others in worse situations than ourselves. Our spirit changes and we can exercise the spirit of joy in whatever situation we are in. Praise changes our spirits and lifts us just as raising our heads up high when we are feeling down can completely change our feelings. So lift your head and PRAISE THE LORD!

greatanne Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? This lament and nearly all laments in the bible end with an upswing of hope and praise because God inhabits in the praises of his people. So when you praise God sincerely, there is a kind of assurance you receive that God is with you and your prayers have been answererd. This teaches us that God is with us when we call upon Him and we are been assured that whatever we ask in His name, we shall receive. This goes further to say that in God, there is deliverance and restoration. Praise the language of faith is so importent in our prayers because without faith, it is impossible to please the Lord. When we ask for help from God and we dont back it up with total trust in God, we are wasting our time. We have to be sure within us that He has answered us.

slicwidow Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 As David realized, we too, should rest in the fact that God is in control and forgives us. We are children of the ALMIGHTY!! He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, we are rich!!! We can praise God in and through everything. Praise should be a continual thing in our day-praise that we are still breathing; still able to live for the Lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz6 Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 They end like this because they have got all their grumping and complaining out, they now feel better and they can now look to the Lord with praise and thanks giving. It teaches us that we should always praise God and be thankful no matter what. It shows that we care and that God is the one and only and we should be thankful for what hedoes for us. I find that if you ask for something of God, you should then thank him and belive it to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haar Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 After pouring out his heart to God in pain and desperation (a typical human reaction to challenges), the Psalmist tuened to praise to demonstrate his trust and faith in God who was able to deliver him from whatever difficult circumstances he found himself. This experience teaches us that we are free to express or emotions of pain and fear to God. We should however recognise that He is able to deliver and save us from such difficult and painfull circumstaces that we find ourselves. This should lead us into spontaneous praise and worship of God. Praise, a language of faith is necessary especially in our pryaers of desperation because God is pleased to see us turn to him in faith despite our situation.

katef Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 I had not thought of that before. The lament is usually sandwiched between praises. I can see now that this will help us keep our troubles in perspective (small in comparison to the world and the abilities of God) and keeps "our eyes on Jesus", our focus on how the problem can be solved, through the will of God, and not on me and me concerns.

MrsG Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? Through faith and knowing who God is and remembering how He has stepped in and rescued us time after time after time, will make you realize that He is willing and able to save again and again and again. Be joyful because God is in control, He will never leave or forsake us, He is with us. "Then I will praise God's name w/singing and I will honor Him w/ thanksgiving." A breakthrough has just happened. Deliverance is at hand even before the actual physical manifestation occurs. In the spirit realm you know that you are free. Praise the LORD! Hallelujah!!! This is why praise is so important, it moves one from despair to hope, from fear to faith, from anxiety to peace and joy. Praise opens our spiritual eyes so that we are able to see God's hand moving on our behalf to resuce us from our troubles. In praise we are reminded of God's great love for us and His compassion towards us. In praise we see our victory!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rita Futrell Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Praise is our catalyst for victory. The Lord wants us to pour out our heart to him, as David did, and then His Spirit, indwelling in us, is caught up in praise. It is the Lord's new covenant "sacrifice" if you will.

allyann Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? They end positively because the psalmist is confident that the Lord heard his prayers. Also because the psalmist has faith and trust in God to deliver him from his current situation and promise and vow to offer up praise and thanksgiving to the God that delivers. What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? That although they arose from some crisis facing the psalmist individually or collectively as a family, church or nation, these laments can be adapted to our individual situations. They teach us that we to can pray specific prayers suited to our individual needs and be confident that God not only hears our prayers and but will deliver us. Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? By giving praise, we express our trust and faith in God that not only will He hear our pleas, but will deliver us from our circumstance. So we give reverence to God for not only who He is but what He is in our lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glory Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 MOST OR NEARLY ALL OF DAVID'S LAMENTS USUALLY ENDS WITH HOPE AND PRAISE BECAUSE OF HIS CONFIDENCE IN GOD TO HEAR AND ANSWER HIS PRAYERS.AFTER HE HAS POURED OUT HIS HEART TO GOD, HE WAITS EXPECTANTLY FOR GOD TO SHOW UP AND DELIVER HIM OUT OF HIS CIRCUMSTANCES.HE'S LETTING GOD KNOW THAT HIS FAITH IS IN HIM, AND HIM ALONE. WE CAN DO THE VERY SAME THING WHEN IN ADVERSITIES; POUR OUT OUR HUTRS UNTO THE LORD AND TAKE OUR FOCUS OFF THE TROUBLES.THIS WAY WE DONT HAVE TO STAY IN THE PIT.WE ARE BASICALLY CHOOSING TO PUT ON THE GARMENT OF PRAISE TO KEEP THE HEAVINESS AWAY WHEN WE ARE BURDENED BY TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS, PAIN AND HEARTACHES.PRAISE IS VERY IMPORTANT IN ADVERSITIES BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE MAJOR WEAPONS WE HAVE AGAINST THE ENEMY...GLORY.

Sarah43 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Q2. (Psalm 69:30-32) Why does this lament (and nearly all laments in the Psalms) end with an upswing of hope and praise? What does this teach us about our own laments and prayers? Why is praise, the language of faith, so important in our prayers, especially prayers of desperate pleas for help? This lament ends with an upswing of hope and praise because the psalmist knows that God is all powerful and can give him mercy. The psalmist wants God to know he recognizes God's power and mercy. For this reason, praise is important in our own pleading to God for mercy. With God, all things are possible. Acknowledging this to ourselves and to God is an important part of knowing the limitlessness of God and our own limitations. It is a way of defining our relationship to Abba.

Joe Ogilvie Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 By offering praise in connection with lamentations of overwhelming problems we weak humans simply respond to the invitations God has given us.
