Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances-others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt.

This book not only teaches readers how to wait on God but inspires them to embrace waiting-for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.

Dark Clouds Deep Mercy
$15.99Add to cartWhere do you turn when the dark clouds of pain, suffering, and loss roll into your life? In a broken world, difficult trials can lead quickly to discouragement and despair-even for Christians. But the Bible sets forth an oft-neglected practice for dealing with such trials: lament. To lament is to turn to God in honest, desperate prayer, giving voice to the reality of our emotions-as intense and tumultuous as they may be. Ultimately, lament is an expression of faith in the God who hears our cries and responds with mercy and grace. Drawing on examples from the Bible and his own story of loss, pastor Mark Vroegop walks through steps of lament (Turn, Complain, Ask, and Trust) to show what lament is, why it is important, and how to enter into it-helping readers learn to live between the poles of God’s goodness and a hard life.
