Lament is a lost gift to much of the American Church. Lamenting is not grumbling. It is complaining to God while trusting Him. Lamenting is trusting in a sovereign God while being honest about the brokenness. Lament is a gift because it opens us to honesty about life while drawing us closer to our kind and loving Father. And because God took on flesh, He meets us in our complaints. Jesus knows. He invites us to partake of the gift of lament.
