Dr. Welch says, “Lament is a proof of the relationship between you and God, and it’s a pathway to intimacy with God.” Explain, in your own words, what this means and why you agree or disagree with the statement.

In 2007 I went through a divorce I was already in the middle of depression trying to deal with my childhood abuse when my husband left me and divorced me. This song I will praise you in the storm was presented at divorce Care meeting I went to and the leader of the divorce Care had it printed on a bookmark. It really spoke to me. When you seek God in every situation even when it is a horrible situation with no answers and you have no idea of your future and you cling to him and his word everything else is taken care of even if it isn’t what we would exactly want it’s for our own good in the end life can be better if we allow God to work and not become bitter.

It draws me closer to God and gives me deeper understanding of who He is.

as we cry out to God we show our dependence on him,our God loves us,that is a fact,he reveils more of himself in our sufferings.

Dr. Welch’s statement means to me that I can feel comfortable and compelled to go directly go to God and express my true feelings, and pain without fear and distress and know that he will understand and help me, I will let him know that he is a good God, and I will continuing praising and thanking him for all his faithfulness and I will be depending on him to be my source for every need in the good times and now in the bad.
I agree with the statement because we all need to lament it gives us the opportunity to challenge God’s promises and to remind him of how good he is and we depend on him as our source of hope and our inherent need to depend on Him.

I agree that Lament is a proof of the relationship between me and God. When I call out to God for my needs and concerns I know He hears me, and this gives me peace. Truly God will never leave me or forsake me.
