Lament with Hope

Value Add: Conversations and Reflections that add value to your life.

I used as a resource for crafting this reflective sermon on lament: https://www.anewliturgy.com/no-7-lament

This is a great resource from Aaron Niequist, I've used the Examen liturgy for years now and this is one I will add to the rotation as well for my own personal prayer times.

In my adaptation I used a blank paper with six boxes to respond to the different poems and prayers of lament. I introduce the concept of lament by sharing Psalm 13. I hope that by introducing personal practices of lament in public worship settings we can begin to explore what public lament looks like. Which is the domain of prophets like Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah.
