"An overwhelming number of us are lonely," writes Marva Dawn.
"Sometimes we are lonely for a specific reason: our spouse has
recently died or left us; our children have just gone from home or
have been tragically killed; we are fighting a particular battle
against illness or suffering the ravages of chemotherapy; we are
new in the neighborhood; our values are different from those of our
work colleagues; it is a Friday night and all our other single
friends have dates. Sometimes our loneliness is a general,
pervasive alienation: we just don't feel as if we belong in our
place of work, in our community, in our family, even in our
church." Our struggle with loneliness often results in a lament
directed at God. We might say something like "How long, LORD? Will
you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?"
When we cry out words like these, we find ourselves praying the
words of the Psalms. In My Soul Waits, Dawn guides us through
psalms that reveal the burdens of our souls to God, and in turn
reveal God's profound, intimate concern for our pain and a promise
to abide with us in it. Readers feeling the sting of loneliness
will take great comfort in this very personal book. Those who
strive to support the lonely among them will take wise counsel from
the Scriptures it expounds. All will encounter a renewed hope in
the One who lists our tears only to wipe them all away.
