In this dynamic episode we discuss the meaning of lamenting and how it pertains to God and His processes for us. We discuss lamenting to God and the importance of getting what we are carrying, all out to Him, so He can then step in and assist us with healing and moving forward. We look at specific people in the Bible that Lament to God and discuss how they went from enduring sorrow and pain to transitioning that to hope and faith. Their laments were heard by God and when we lament to Him, as His children, we can be assured that He hears us too. God is our creator and He is a compassionate God. He desires for us to lament to Him, so he can help us endure. Most notably, Jesus lamented to God, Job lamented to God, as well as Jeremiah, about the destruction of Jerusalem. Ultimately, listeners will gain insight as to the benefits of Lamenting to God, especially when occurrences happen, or seasons occur where we do not have the answers.
