In this episode of Chai Beauty, I open up about Session Five of the When You Pray Bible study, which focuses on lament—a form of prayer I’ve always struggled with. Unlike petition or admiration, lament required me to sit with my real feelings—rejection, despair, anxiety, sorrow—and bring them honestly before God. Through this journey, I share how lament has helped me face my emotions without covering them up, create safe spaces for my grief, and trust God even when His timeline feels slow. From Hannah’s groaning prayers to recognizing my own love of money, I explore how God uses lament to build endurance, reshape priorities, and remind us He is still sovereign.
