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.

Well, I do not lament much. Sometimes when I am extremely happy, I will send God a joyful praise but when I am sad, I will just cry human tears. For some it may be a way of connecting with God and showing Him that you do trust in Him and believe His every word. I also pray on bending knees when I am sad this is when I assure God of my faith in Him and my love for Him.

I agree that lament is a pathway to intimacy with God because it draws us closer to God.
-
I agree because God wants to hear from His children. It strengthens our relationship with God and we must remember we can tell God everything/anything that is on our hearts and minds. He knows us better than we know ourselves.
-
Agree. If we allow the process and cry out to God we will feel Him ever present .

Believing in God’s conviction that not only does He care about us, He also has the power to do something about our situation. I trust He is good and faithful He won’t give me more than I can handle. Especially when I give it to Him.
