"It is hard to speak to the Lord about your sufferings and to lament and to honestly go to him and say, 'Lord, this is hurting in my heart, on my soul.' We rarely step into relationship in that way, and it's a struggle. It's a challenge, and it's a good, right, excellent challenge to come to him as the one who really does care." What is self-pity, and how should we view it? How can we turn our self-pity into godly lament that engages honestly with the Lord? Listen as Alasdair Groves discusses self-pity and considers what to do when we or others are struggling with it. Related resources:
