Lament moves us deeper into our light of God

Lament acknowledges the reality of the situation. It opens us up to pain. It revises our assumptions of the world and it helps us to reconstruct our relationship to who/what we have lost. Lament has its crucial place in worship and produces the fruit of hope in a future in which lament will have no place.
God may be light, but His best work is always done in the dark.

Scripture: Job 7:1-11
