Lament and Honesty | Through the Valley Worship Series Manna for your Soul

Friends, welcome to our Lenten journey through the valley. Just as Jesus wandered in the wilderness for forty days, so too can we feel like we are wandering in the wilderness, as we face hardships, grief, temptations, and injustices. 

During our lenten journey, we will discover what it means to wander these parts of life in honesty with God through the practice of lament. We will learn how crying out to God in our need can help us to fully embrace what it means to be human beings held and loved by a God we can trust. We will learn that even through the darkest valleys, Jesus both goes ahead of us and walks with us.   

Today, we will focus on lament and honesty. Looking at Job’s story, we will see how Job’s response to his friends ensures us that we can be honest with God in even the most painful situations, trusting God to be God in the process.
