Lament is a crucial part of our relationship with God and essential in our efforts to heal. We're not called to hide. Our prayer closets are not to be confused with a courthouse or a quiet room. Jesus didn’t exchange his life for ours so that we can pretend with him or put on a show.

Lament fosters hope. It is a holy language that helps us walk in the new life we've obtained in Christ.
