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 think what t means to me is that to the extent that God is my friend and father I will run to him with my fears pain and need for comfort. I think I agree with him. In so doing I will get closer to him.

Lament for me is not complaining to God but sharing my pain and suffering to Him. I know no one can understand me like God does, not even my husband and children who love me. I feel relieved when I cry before God. He takes my worries and replace it with peace.

I have suffered with grieving my childhood because of sexual abuse. God has held me in the midst of intergrating trauma. I have received so many miracles!!!

In 2007 I went through a divorce I was already in the middle of depression trying to deal with my childhood abuse when my husband left me and divorced me. This song I will praise you in the storm was presented at divorce Care meeting I went to and the leader of the divorce Care had it printed on a bookmark. It really spoke to me. When you seek God in every situation even when it is a horrible situation with no answers and you have no idea of your future and you cling to him and his word everything else is taken care of even if it isn’t what we would exactly want it’s for our own good in the end life can be better if we allow God to work and not become bitter.

It draws me closer to God and gives me deeper understanding of who He is.
