What if your pain could become a pathway to deeper trust in God?
In Lament, biblical counselor and author Christine Chappell walks with you through 31 days of Scripture-guided reflections designed to help you:

• Bring your honest grief, confusion, and questions before God
• Learn the biblical language of lament from the Psalms
• Resist the pressure to “move on” or suppress your sorrow
• Anchor your hope in Christ—even when circumstances don’t change

This book isn’t a call to fix your pain quickly. It’s an invitation to meet God in the middle of it.

Lament: Crying Out in Faith is part of the 31-Day Devotionals for Life series from P&R Publishing. In this series, biblical counselors and Bible teachers guide you through Scripture passages that speak to specific situations or struggles, helping you to apply God’s Word to your life in practical ways day after day.
What to Expect in This 31-Day Devotional
Each day includes:
A carefully selected Psalm or Scripture passage.
A short, Christ-centered devotional reflection.
Guided prompts to help you pray honestly.
Gentle encouragement to stay anchored in truth.
Whether you’re walking through grief, suffering, or spiritual dryness, this devotional gives you a structure for bringing your pain before God—one day at a time.
This Devotional Is for You If...
• You feel like God is distant or silent.
• You don’t know how to pray in your pain.
• You’re tired of surface-level encouragement that ignores suffering.
• You want a biblical framework for grief and hardship.
• You long to trust God but feel stuck in sorrow.
 
You don’t need to have the “right words.” You just need a place to begin.
