Praying and Sadness


Question:

Dear Rabbi, I need some advice on which prayer to say for sadness, when I lose hope and feel fear. I don't refer to any particular situation, just in general. Thank you very much.



AskTheRabbi.org answered:

I suggest reciting Psalms. I am not familiar with a particular chapter of Psalms that might be more appropriate than another. Recite whichever chapters speak to you and that you feel a connection to and then you should just let the astonishingly poignant and beautiful words come out of your heart and your mouth and let them soar up to God.
