Pagbangotan 5:19

With a GRAMMY and 21 Dove Awards, worship leader Chris Tomlin’s music has significantly impacted the church, leading TIME Magazine to refer to Chris as “most likely the most often sung artist anywhere”. The Overflow is excited to partner with Chris for this devotional based on songs from the Christmas worship album Adore. It's Chris' prayer you will pause, see what God has done, and adore our Lord Jesus Christ.

We all experience great loss- a relationship, a job, a loved one, or simply life as it once was. We’re sure that life is not supposed to be this way and so we grieve and mourn for what could have been. And we’re not alone. Join us for the fourth week of a 5-part plan that will help us learn the language and heart of lament in Scripture.

Most likely written by the prophet Jeremiah, Lamentations is a collection of poems mourning the siege of Jerusalem and the coming exile of Judah. Despite the wickedness of God’s people that led to their captivity, the writer reminds his readers the loyal love and mercy of the Lord are truly new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Even in deep darkness, God is our portion, our hope, and our salvation.

In difficult times, do you feel like God is silent? The book of Lamentations offers a language for times when you feel alone in sorrow. Lamentations invites you to pour out your most difficult emotions in prayer and to return to the God who loves you and is working all things together for good. In this five-day series, read through the book of Lamentations and consider God's steadfast love.
