“Jeremiah wept and God saw. He cried and God heard. He is not the God who waves the magic wand and makes the Babylonians or the cancer go away. He's the God who sees and hears and enters into the suffering with his suffering people in the wilderness.” – Michael Card, A Sacred Sorrow
Amen
The God who sees is with us in our lamentations and does not leave us without hope.
“Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.’ The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD” Lamentations 3:22-26 NIV.

I’m just now seeing this. Such a beautiful reflection, thank you for the honor of being included 🥹. I’ve needed so many words of lament these days.
