Laments of Grace

This past Sunday, Pastor Eric challenged us to start writing our laments to God and encouraged us to share them with others. Don't forget that if you missed out on this sermon or any other, you can listen to them on the church website or download them to your iPod through iTunes.

Here is the first lament that was sent in by Gary Madonna.


Help me, O God! I don’t turn to others; I turn to you.

I am weary by not practicing and playing my sax in church. I have pulled away from your presence and blessing.

Let “Your Passion for Music” be expressed in and through me. I want You to enter into the resolution of this request.

I know I can’t do this on my own; You know the passion (song) is not there.

I will praise You as I lament knowing that only in You will the song return.

You are the Song.


You can email your laments to Pastor Eric to post (eric@gccfred.org) and if you would like your lament to be anonymous please feel free to let him know that as well. So who's next?
