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.

I agree with the statement, when I cry out to God and I’m completely open and honest with Him, even in utterings and can’t get words out He hears my cries. He’s always with me, He understands, He sees me through and never leaves me. I lean in and on Him in all things, I’ve learned I can go to Him with anything and about all things. He is faithful, He is all knowing, and He answers me always.

I agree…expressing our grief to God and allowing God to guide us through these times does create a stronger bond/relationship with Him our Father and Creator, we need to lessen ourselves (ego) to depend on and need Him more.

To know that we can express our cares, feelings and pains with God gives me great peace . When you don’t have the words to say he knows your thoughts and you heart . And through his Holy Spirit , He’s my comforter.

I reflect on the experiences of Job, and the bible teaches that often our characters are refined by fire, we may not know why certain things happen to us, but the main focus is to trust God, trust in His plan for us.

I agree with this statement. In 2020 I lost my sister and my aunt. In 2021 I lost my mother. Because of my relationship with God, He assured me before these losses that He was me, for me, and that He loved me. I’m still standing because of His promises!
