Crying Out to God

Finding God's Grace Through Lament"e;I cry aloud to God, aloud to God, and he will hear me."e; Psalm 77:1What do we do with our pain? So much in our world is simply not right: Disease. Death. Destruction. But we don't have to look to the news to know that things aren't okay. Our neighborhoods, our churches, and even our families ache with the everyday troubles of this life. Whether our response is rage or tears or numbness, the Bible offers an avenue for our pain: lament. In Crying Out to God, Wendy Alsup uses psalms of lament to give words to our often-wordless cries. During this eight-week study, we learn that God not only allows our complaints about all that is not right, but he also welcomes our protests and tears. And we discover that God meets us in our lament, giving us his remarkable grace and provision in our time of need.

You'll find that God has not left you to journey through the darkness alone.
