Lauren, I’ve been a silent reader of your posts for years and I’ve enjoyed so much soaking up the wisdom you have through Christ and your journey. This post in particular has me in tears in the best way possible! I’ve had a year of struggles and have experienced the distance from our Lord that you’ve described here. I’ve been staying in the word, remembering my blessings, seeking Christian fellowship, but its so obvious now, after reading your post, that lamenting is a way to stay connected with God too, it’s all over the Bible! I’ve never thought about applying it in my own life and situation. Thank you so much for being so open and giving God glory in this way. He’s using you to speak to more people than you may know. What a privilege!
Sarah, this comment is incredibly touching to me. I pray that you will begin to sense the Lord's presence as you honestly come to Him through lament. Thank you for your comment. It's messages like these that keep me writing.
Thank you for sharing this, Lauren. It is beautifully written: it is insightful and meaningful, yet simple and practical and accessible. Boiling it down like this was wonderful.
Your words are encouraging to me. Thanks, Mandie! I did try to keep this boiled down, but as I was writing this, I Googled the traditional word count for a chapter and thought, "I could hit that!" There's more I could say on each of the topics I covered in this post. 🙂
Very good article and suggestions Lauren! I appreciate your honesty and practical ways pointing people who are hurting to God.
Thank you, Tammi. I felt called to share. ❤️
