About this episode
We have looked at four themes in our series on this book of Lamentations, which is a gift from God for all who grieve. Today we come to our third pair of themes – hope and healing. The word ‘hope’ is found four times in the book of Lamentations, and all of them are in the verses that are before us today.
More from For All Who Grieve
View all- 1Prayer and PraiseHere, for the first time in the book of Lamentations, the grieving people begin to speak. These people have been shocked, stunned, and numbed by the terrible events that have taken place in their lives. They can hardly take in what has happened to them and they sit in silence for the first four chapters. It is not easy to pray when something so devastating has come into your life.

- 3Guilt and GrievanceWe began last week by looking at tears and talk. We saw that grief is the inward desolation that follows losing something or someone we love. This is a road that all of us will travel, and God has given us an entire book of the Bible that teaches us how to navigate the valley of sorrow and loss.
- 4Tears and TalkWe begin today a four week series in which I want to speak especially to all who walk the path of sorrow and loss. All of us will walk through the valley of grief and loss in different times and in different ways. And God has given us an entire book of the Bible that addresses the issue of grief, an entire book of the Bible that shows us how to navigate this valley.
