Description: Lament is not weakness or unfaithfulness but the biblical, God-honoring way to bring raw grief honestly to God; refusing both stoic suppression and self-pitying wallowing; and Psalm 13 shows the pattern of honest complaint moving through plea to trust, a pattern fulfilled in Christ who was truly forsaken on the cross so that believers, though they feel forsaken, never actually are.
