Behold My Afflictions

When suffering leaves people speechless, even prayer can feel impossible. Lament gives their deepest pain an honest voice before God. Ruined Jerusalem asks God to see her lonely grief, yet she admits that generations of rebellion and trust in false gods brought His just judgement. Not every heartbreak directly follows personal sin, but Jesus bore His people's judgement, so they can seek comfort, leave revenge to God, and await a city that will never be destroyed.
