If you’ve ever whispered through tears, “God, where are You?”—this episode is for you. In this raw and faith-filled conversation, we explore the Prayer of Lament, a deeply biblical yet often overlooked way to process grief and pain with God. Especially for Christian women navigating grief after the loss of a parent, this episode gives you permission to be honest in your faith—even when it feels messy.

Through the example of Jesus’ own cry on the cross and the desperate prayer of a grieving father in Mark 9, you’ll discover that lament is not a sign of weak faith, but of a strong relationship with God. You’ll be reminded that God is not intimidated by your emotions—and that believing and doubting can coexist. This episode is a sacred invitation to bring your pain into the presence of the One who can hold it.

Whether you're struggling to pray, drowning in unanswered questions, or simply need to know you're not alone in your sorrow, this episode will help you take a step toward healing after losing a loved one.

• Why the Bible gives space for grief, doubt, and emotional honesty through the prayer of lament
• How Jesus and other biblical figures modeled honest conversations with God in moments of suffering
• Practical ways to bring your emotions to God in a way that deepens your relationship and strengthens your faith

• Lament is not faithlessness—it’s faithful honesty. Bringing your pain to God shows you believe He’s still listening.
• God isn’t like people. He won’t turn away from your grief, anger, or confusion. He meets you in the middle of it.
• “I believe, help my unbelief” is a powerful, biblical way to pray when your faith feels fractured—Jesus responds to honest hearts, not perfect ones.
