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 that Lament is a proof of the relationship between you and God, and it’s a pathway to intimacy with God. God is our father, and we can tell him anything. Just like our natural children cry out for help and lament to us, we can cry out for help and Lament to God who is our father. That relationship will never go away as long as we hold on to it. It is up to us to walk away because God will never leave nor forsake us. We have a right to go boldly to the throne of grace.

I agree that lament is a proof of my relationship between my and God leads to a more intimate relationship with him. If it is true that discussing our deepestes thought about how things are not as expected and how disappointed we are about difficulties we face with out loved ones make us closer then it has to be true with our creator. This is true when I lament to God.

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.
