The joy of our hearts has ended; Our dancing has been turned into mourning. The crown has fallen from our head [our honor is covered with dust]! Woe to us, for we have sinned! Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim. As for Mount Zion, which lies desolate, Foxes and the jackals prowl over it. ¶But You, O LORD, reign forever; Your throne endures from generation to [all] generations. Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long? Return us to You, O LORD, so that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old, Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.

We all experience great loss- a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way and so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. And we’re not alone. Join us for the fourth week of a 5-part plan that will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.
In difficult times, do you feel like God is silent? The book of Lamentations offers a language for times when you feel alone in sorrow. Lamentations invites you to pour out your most difficult emotions in prayer and to return to the God who loves you and is working all things together for good. In this five-day series, read through the book of Lamentations and consider God's steadfast love.

Prayer is a mystery. How do we pray? What do we pray for? If God already knows everything, why do we pray? We know prayer is a crucial aspect of the life of a Christian, but it is often a challenge. Going through the example that Jesus gave us in the Lord’s Prayer, we will explore different elements of prayer and discover ways to develop our own prayer life.
