Overview:
To lament is to cry out with a pain so deep we cannot express it with words, only with a wail from the depth of our souls. Jeremiah groaned with sadness as he stumbled through the ruins of Jerusalem. He saw corpses in the streets and orphaned children begging for food. This was his nation’s darkest hour . . . the shadow of which stretches across the years to our own day. We sometimes witness ugly scenes in our nation, and we must have Jeremiah’s courage to face the truth of what we see and cry out to God, our hope of restoration.
