As we seek to grow as apprentices of Jesus, how do we respond to the sadness, suffering, or disappointment that we or others experience in our lives?
Lament.
God has given us lament as a way of honestly interacting with Him through challenging times. Learning how to prayerfully lament is vital for all of us as we seek to faithfully follow Jesus through the dark valleys of life. Mark Vroegop’s book, Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, is a helpful guide for learning how to lament. He provides practical guidance alongside profound insights into how God works through seasons of lament to draw us into deeper intimacy with Him. We have copies available in our church library. I highly recommend it!
I also preached a sermon on the topic that you can rewatch here:
