Summary Learn how to lament (wrestle with God in prayer) and experience genuine hope and joy amidst grief and pain. Suffering often causes deep spiritual agony. You might be left thinking, "Where is God? Why is he allowing this? Why doesn't he do something?" And then guilt whispers to your soul, "Am I allowed to say these things? Shouldn't I trust God without hesitation? Am I just a faithless Christian?" This honest, warm and personal book shows us that we don't need to wrap up our stories of suffering with lessons and silver linings or suppress our pain. Being honest with God, and with others, about our heartache is not only "allowed" but encouraged in the Scriptures. In fact, lament is authorized by God as an act of worship. Weaving in his own story of pain and loss with biblical reflections, Clint Watkins shows us how lament is permitted by Jesus, shaped by Scripture, fueled by grace, and filled with hope. And when we lament as communities through worship and testimony, we minister hope to a hurting world. Learn how to pray without pretending by sharing your hurts with God. As you draw near to the Father, experience genuine hope and joy amid grief and pain. A great gift for Christians who are suffering and a useful resource for church leaders and others who are walking alongside them. Clint Watkins is a missionary to college students. Clint is a husband, father, and missionary to college students serving with DiscipleMakers. He writes in order to help sufferers find hope.
