Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
The biblical authors of Lamentations and Psalms invite us to express our grief, anger, and sadness to God. But this is hard. It’s so much easier to either avoid pain with numbing distractions or vent out frustrations without ever bringing them to God. But he is patient. He understands how painful our situations are, and he cares and grieves with us. Today, let’s practice grieving with him.
Bible Reading
Lamentations 3:22-33
Reflection Questions
- What is one specific area you are grieving right now? Notice the sensations you experience as you think about it and take a moment to express each feeling to God.
- Now continue your prayer to God by asking him to show his compassion toward your painful situation.
- While you wait on God’s answer to your prayers, imagine giving Jesus the weight of your grief and concerns now. What does it look like as he carries it? What do you imagine him doing to show his compassion in your situation?
