Ann Voskamp defines lament as, "a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty." Throughout the scriptures, God invites His people to bring their complaints, grief, and deepest hurts to Him.

In this episode, we'll look at how lament draws on what we know to be true of God, allows for raw honesty, and encourages us to to petition Him in a way that is unapologetically bold.

As we look at Psalm 44, we'll make some key observations and even connect the writers of this communal lament back to a pivotal story in the Old Testament.

Scriptures:

• I Thessalonians 5:16-18
• Psalm 56:8
• Matthew 5:4
• Psalm 44
