DAY 1 OF 5

Prepare Your Heart

Welcome to Lamentations: Hope in Suffering. Before you journey through Lamentations, watch the short overview video below. In it, you'll learn that Lamentations was written during some of Israel's darkest days. Both the nation Israel and God's temple have been destroyed by Babylon. The survivors of Israel admit they are responsible for Israel's destruction, and they grieve that it seems as if they have been utterly rejected by God. But in their grief and suffering, there is a message of hope–God's mercies are new every morning!

Reflect

Next, we invite you to read some very important verses in Lamentations. Lamentations 3:19-33 show us that even in deep suffering and grief, God's steadfast love and mercies are never-ending. This passage reminds us that even when surrounded by despair, God will always be faithful to his people.

What's Next?

Each day of this reading plan, you will watch a short video walking you through the book of Lamentations, where you'll discover the hope found in God’s unending mercy and learn that you can trust in his faithfulness even through the depths of despair.

Each day, you will see the same three things:

1. What’s Happening?

This section explains what is going on in the text.

2. Where is the Gospel?

This section shows how this story ultimately points to Jesus and his Gospel.

3. A Time of Prayer

This is a short prayer meant to propel you into Scripture and help you experience the good news of Jesus for yourself.

We hope this journey transforms you. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would open your eyes to see the beauty of Jesus in all of Scripture.
