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.

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.

Well said!

I agree with the statement. When I pray or lament I go to God and it is the pathway to intimacy with God because I express my heart and he wants us to pour our hearts out to him. When we share our heart and soul with someone we love, it causes intimacy.

I do agree that lament is a proof of my relationship with God, and it’s a pathway to get closer to Him. I have always been the anchor for my daughter, sibling and at work that my staff will look up to and for help with their issues.
My false sense of having to be strong have at times trapped me, where and whom I can turn to have my needs satisfy. I do cry to God during my prayers and at night. I have to lean on Him to gain courage to move on, knowing that I may be alone but never lonely when God walks with me.
