It moves from suffering to remembrance, from desperation to trust, and finally to a turning point:\n“You have answered me.”\n\nAt the heart of Psalm 22 is a foundational truth:\nGod has not despised the suffering of the afflicted.\n\nIn this episode, we follow the movement of this prayer and discover that even our hardest questions belong within the life of faith. And we see how Jesus enters this Psalm, carries its suffering, and brings it to fulfillment.\n\nIf your prayer feels uncertain, interrupted, or unresolved, you are not outside of faith.\nYou are inside it."}
