Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament Tom J. Nettles Packer also served as generalLament is how you live between the poles of a hard life and trusting Gods goodness. Lament is how we bring our sorrow to Godbut it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow. Lament avoids trite answers and quick solutions, progressively moving us toward deeper worship and trust.
