We’ve just concluded our 50 Days of Freedom Challenge and I hope you have seen the fruit that I have found in my life! Time with God in His Word will always bring transformation.
How can we move out of survival mode and into the freedom and delight God has for us? We need to learn the skill of lament. Lament is processing our pain in God’s presence and with His truth. When we are in pain, we are at a crossroads. Will we choose to process our pain with God and move into worship and rejoicing in God even as we are lamenting and grieving, or will we process it without God? When we process it without God, we go down the path towards disappointment, envy, or trying to numb the pain, which leads to addiction.
Read Psalm 13 today and bring your feelings to God. You can ask Him for what you need, and then pray your worship back to Him.
Want to read more about lament? You can do the study that I have been doing, When You Pray. My friend Em Tyler will have a Masterclass on lament on July 18th, and she is doing a cohort this summer on Psalm 119, which includes the masterclass.
