Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I share my journey of learning how to lament through Session Five of When You Pray. Unlike other forms of prayer, lament pushed me to stop running from my feelings and instead bring my sorrow, rejection, and despair honestly before God. I talk about why lament is difficult, how it reveals our love for control and comfort, and how God uses even our tears to build faith, endurance, and trust in HisWe’ll explore:• Why lament is often the hardest form of prayer• Learning to name feelings beyond “sad” or “angry”• How lament creates safe space for grief and honesty with God• The privilege of hearing God’s confirmation through others• Wrestling with provision, money, and stability in faith• How lament deepens trust in God’s will and timing💬 Question for You:How do you bring your sorrow to God—do you find it easy to lament, or is it still a struggle?
