Winter. Cold, dark, lonely. Lots of things can throw us into a spiritual winter. When we lose a job, or we get sick, or we go through a tough transition. Winter comes and steals our hope…and all we see is cold and dark, a never-ending snow storm.

Psalm 88 powerfully describes a spiritual winter. These verses are raw and honest, and seemingly end without hope. What is this Psalm doing in our bible?  

These verses are a great gift. Winter is hard and long, but it isn't pointless.
