We prepare for all kinds of experiences in life.
But have you considered preparing for pain?
A lament is a passionate expression of deep grief, sadness, or regret. It can be a spoken complaint, a feeling of sorrow over a loss, or a formal song, poem, or piece of music written to mourn someone who has died. It functions as both a noun (an expression of sorrow) and a verb
(to mourn or regret deeply).
Job’s Lament…
1. Curses the Day of His Beginning v.1-19
2. Continues to the Day of His Burden v.20-26
3. Can’t See the Day of His Blessing v.23
Job gives us permission to hurt.
Jesus gives us permission to hurt with hope!
