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 me and God, and it’s a pathway to intimacy with God. Like every crises in our lives we tend to go to the support system that we are comfortable or that makes us feel secure. The person who drinks will turn to alcohol. Those who put their trust in God will turn to Him or from Him. The one who has a strong relationship with God will use the skill of lamenting. This will eventually bring one closer has they seek their answers.

I agree with lamenting and developing a relationship with God. From a personal experience, I have been able to cry to God, which He states in His Word, to bring our cares and burdens to Him. Our relationship develops, it strengthens and we become a stronger person because of this relationship. Whether you are a new Christian or a believing Christian with many years behind you, as we focus on God, asking to help meet our needs, we are strengthened and our bond grows, but we must be receptive.

Truly having an up close and personal relationship with the heavenly father is detrimental to who I am as His child. Being able to talk with Him and more importantly having God communicate with me. I need God to live out my life in service to Him.

I agree with the statement that lament is proof of a relationship with God. This means that even if we are angry at God and don’t understand why he allowed this to happen to us, this is a way of connecting with God. The conversation may be one-sided for a time if we need to do this, but when we are ready, God will connect with us and reveal the attitudes we need to develop to cope with our situation and draw closer to Him.

Me lamenting shows I’m closer to God maybe there is something he wants me to so me worried/grieve to him is a means for me to communicate with him because he will always have a way to calm me down to understand what’s going on around me. So when I notice his presence I should be able to tell some is going on around me
