Psalm 13:1-6 | How Long, O Lord? - Learning to Lament
Message preached at Grace Family Church, Caymanas Estate, Jamaica, by Joel Bain on January 3, 2021.
Resources for learning to lament:
I referenced Mark Vreogop's excellent book, Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy several times in this message. I highly recommend reading Vreogop's book for anyone who wants to invest significant time in learning to lament, and particularly for those living through long-term trials and those called to a particular ministry of praying for others.
To dig little more into this area you could use his 5-day devotional on lament - "Learning to Lament". It can also be found by searching for that title in the YouVersion Bible app.
For further reading, Stacey Gleddiesmith has written a helpful article about understanding the lament psalms.
