Episode 11: Today we are looking at Lament. When prayers feel stuck in your throat, Scripture teaches us to bring honest sorrow to God. Psalm 13:1–2 says, “How long, O LORD…?” Psalm 62:8 says, “Trust in him at all times… pour out your heart before him.” Psalm 142:2 says, “I pour out my complaint before him.” Lamentations 3:22–23 says, “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases… they are new every morning.” In this episode, we walk a simple path of lament—turn, complain, ask, trust—so grief becomes real prayer instead of silence.

You’ll hear Brian’s personal reflections on seasons of loss, a guided way to write your own four-move lament, and encouragement that John 11:35 says, “Jesus wept,” so you can weep with Him and to Him.

Sip Size Q&A:

This is usually where I answer one of your questions in about three minutes—the perfect sip while the coffee’s still hot. So shoot me your curiosities about biblical counseling, Scripture, or even your favorite coffee brew method. You can leave a voice message at the link below or email below.

This week a listener asks: “Is it okay to be upset with God?” (Short answer: yes—bring it to Him as lament, not grumbling.)
