The Life-Changing Power of Lament

October 21, 2023 — Laura House

Are you going through a painful time in your life right now? Most of us reading this post would answer “yes.” Are you familiar with the biblical prayer language of lament? I propose to you that learning how to lament will be life-changing for you as you walk through suffering.

At the Our Hearts Are Home Conference last weekend, Pastor Mark Vroegop gave a message, “Learning to Lament.” It is one of the most helpful messages that I have ever heard, and I wanted to share it with all of you. It’s one of those rare messages where I want to take notes and then realize that I’m pausing the recording and writing down nearly every sentence. Have you done that before?

How can we live with pain in our lives that doesn’t seem to be survivable?

Take a short time today to listen, learn how to lament, and be changed by incorporating it into your life.
