Bawl babies & stoic soldiers | Lamenting

This is the Day Rejoice

It doesn’t matter if you’re one to cry your eyes out or you appear impassive and cool - we are called to lament our pains to the Lord. Expressing fears, struggles, anxieties, and trials in righteous lament, using scripture as a guide or as our entire lament, provides us with the words to articulate profound sorrow when we find ourselves at a loss for expression.

If we don't lament, we're bound to sin, usually in anger.

When this is the day your heart is overwhelmed, go to God in lament. The Psalms are so full of beautiful expressions to work through our pain, crying out to the Lord, so we don’t become overwhelmed in our sorrow, and fall into sin.
