Suffering, pain, and anguish are part of the human experience. God knows it and has given us a tool, a provision – lament. As I look back, I see a shift in my beliefs. Going to hopes funeral and lacking in being loved and loving like Jesus, that lament is a part of my faith journey, but I didn’t know it. Until…well, we will get there, first, let me say this I’ve studied for 30 years, and I missed how much Scripture talks about lament.
