An Open Lament

In response to racism, injustice and systemic oppression.

I lament our brokenness. 

I lament that worth is being defined by a color. 

I lament that my anger and grief cannot always be expressed. 

I lament that each hashtag create more numbness and less hope. 

I lament that after all of this, so many will never change. 

I lament that my emotions are met with skewed facts and not empathy. 

I lament our brokenness. 

I lament that this brokenness causes us to implement demonic ways of comparison, oppression and division.

I lament that the world I dream of may only become reality after Christ returns. 

But I trust in your unfailing love.
    I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
I will sing to the Lord
    because he is good to me.

Psalm 13:5-6 NLT
