The Uplifted Hands of the Penitent
Lamentations 3:41
Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.


Instead of wrangling with God (ver. 39) let us wrestle with Him in prayer; this is the only way to get off with comfort. Nazianzen saith, that the best work we can put our hands unto is, to lift them up to God in prayer.

(J. Trapp.)
