Reader Angie Brennan writes:
Regarding “Prayer and the Lusty Body” . . . I’m not sure I agree with Tyndale that true prayer necessarily gives comfort to the soul—and it certainly isn’t always easy on the body.
Prayers offered in the midst of great anguish or despair can be quite exhausting (such as in Psalm 88) with weeping, groaning, and falling prostrate before the Lord—all things that can easily vex the eyes &
throat and weary the body.
Of course, these types of prayers probably shouldn’t happen in public, but they are no less true prayers.
