Learning to Lament<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The book of Psalms, containing both praises and laments, was used by Israel in worship. Western churches today, however, worship in praise more than lament, leading people to believe that their sorrow is from a lack of faith. The balance of praise and lament in the Church is important because it allows us to bring our whole self to God and acknowledge God\u2019s response of faithful love. By looking at other cultures and understanding the language of the Psalms, churches can authentically worship God together through lament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
