Lamentations 1:1-2⎪Lamenting for the City

Damian Grateley (2019-6-2)

POINTS:


lament wrestles with ‘where are you God?’ and ‘if you love me, why is this happening?’

because lamenting is crying out to God, it is actually a prayer of faith and not despair

those who lament understand the difference between asking God and accusing God

lamenting involves wrestling with our current reality and the mystery of God’s plans and purposes
