Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long?
Psalm 6:2-3
What’s the difference between being sad, depressed, and lamenting? Lamenting is a spiritual practice that human beings are to observe when things are deeply wrong with the world, yet we don’t ever encourage our people to do so well. Instead, we suppress our laments or we pretend like they don’t exist and it comes out in many unhealthy ways. Our Western culture focuses so much on living a “happy life” that we’ve forgotten how to lament well. Join us this Sunday as we discuss the spiritual practice of lament.
