What do you do when you’ve prayed to God and you don’t like the answer you’ve received? What do you do when God doesn't make sense?

Lament is an often-neglected biblical prayer language for our travels through this broken world. It’s a language for people of faith who are carrying wounds, doubts, pains, and sorrow.

There is a golden thread of lament that runs through the fabric of this week’s readings. It is rich and raw and powerfully expressed, deeply sad and yet strangely full of love and hope.

Our God is not blind to our struggles or deaf to our cries. He does not consider it a lack of faith, an insult, or a sin if we choose to be honest with him.
