Studying psalms of lament has been a rich and helpful practice in my faith. And yet, writing about them sometimes feels a bit repetitive. Maybe reading reflections about them can feel that way too? I've learned, though, that when biblical authors repeat themselves, they are teaching us something, and it is essential we pay attention. But attention—the kind that lingers with something long enough for it to take root and produce something fruitful—is a resource that is on the verge of distinction these days.
