Faith and lament

Walter Brueggemann, shrewdly speaks of the use of lament psalms as ‘an act of bold faith, albeit a transformed faith’. He suggests this for two good reasons: first, because their use insists that ‘the world must be experienced as it really is and not in some pretended way,’ and, second, because it insists that ‘all such experiences of disorder are a proper subject for discourse with God’. I've just read through David Cohen, Why O Lord? Praying our Sorrows (publishing it in 2013) - a brilliant book about lament, about keeping the faith in difficult times, about somehow locating the absent God, and about faith retaining a sense of the divine Fatherhood. Helpful in explaining what lament is; useful in applying that to our present situations of anxiety and distress.

Have you ever used lament psalms in times of adversity? As a Christian community? Individually?
