The book of Lamentations: From its opening line to its final question, Lamentations is strongly unified by its almost unrelenting atmosphere of grief, helping us to deal with the problem of suffering. The writer is clearly overwhelmed by the greatness of doom, yet there is a clear recognition of hope and healing, through prayer.

We will explore how prayer leads to hope in a situation in which hope appears meaningless. We will discover that in our lament we can find healing.
