Pause each day in August to read the Psalms.

Psalms of Lament are a cry of grief to God in difficult times. They often ask God questions like,  Where are you in the midst of my suffering? Do you care about my pain? Why are you silent? Then they go on to remember the Living God and His ability to intervene, contend for his people, and vindicate wrongs. When reading these psalms of lament, keep in mind that you are not alone in your anguish. God promises that you have an eternal future and hope.
