Learning to Lament: A 5-Day DevotionalSample

DAY 3 OF 5

Learning from Lament: Hope Springs from Truth Rehearsed

This is where biblical lament is transformative. It not only gives voice to the pain you feel but also anchors your heart to truths you believe—or are trying to believe when dark clouds linger.

Something bad may have happened in your life. Loss can feel like a wasteland. It’s devastating. But lament helps us to rehearse biblical truth so hope will return. Despite what you see, despite what you feel, despite what you think, lament can be a supply of grace as you affirm that God’s mercies are new every day.

As you rehearse what is true, hope can rise. I promise. God promises too.

About this Plan

Over the next five days, with readings adapted from Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament by Mark Vroegop, explore how the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations give voice to our pain and invite us to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.
