Jesus shows us that lament is foundational to a robust faith. He was a “man of sorrows” (Isa 53:3) who “offered up prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears” (Heb 5:7). Some treat Jesus’ suffering as a measurin
Christians often speak of God’s comfort in suffering. Many find solace in the Lord, who “is near to the broken-hearted” (Ps 34:18) and “comforts us in all our affliction” (2 Cor 1:4). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But do you ever struggle t
