Scripture
About this Plan
It is okay to cry out to God in the midst of your suffering, like David, Jeremiah, and Paul. They suffered greatly in their lives and went to God in the midst of their grief, vocalizing the sorrow they experienced. You will learn how to lament, which means bringing your sorrows, heartbreak, and pain to God and how to trust Him again and rejoice, even on your hardest days.
