The word “lament” appears a significant number of times in the Old Testament. In our society today, we rarely hear someone speaking about the value of, or need for, time to lament. Yet in our day, we have many problems—very serious problems—for which Christians should rightly feel the need to lament. In this episode of the “Before We Go Podcast,” David and Karen Mains talk about the biblical history of the word “lament” and how to choose two issues for which we can develop a proper way of expressing lament, as we pray for God to bring healing to our world.
