摘要:
Prayer request journals are often placed in hospital chapels for patients, visitors and staff to write their needs and concerns. The author uses examples from these journals to show how these personal expressions resemble the lament of the psalmist. She draws on Dorothee Soelle's understanding of the importance of language in dealing with suffering and illustrates how the prayer journals provide a vehicle of uttering despair and pain, and hope and gratitude.
