Lamentations 3:1-3, 13-15, 17-18, 22-26 NIV records “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of the Lord’s wrath. He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long. He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver. I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long. He has filled me with bitter herbs and given me gall to drink. I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” https://bible.com/bible/111/lam.3.1-26.NIV

While Jeremiah records his pain, he writes the words that will be fulfilled by God Himself in the Lord Jesus. God has felt our pain. He has felt the pain of injustice. He has felt the pain of God seeming to be far away and uncaring. God has felt the pain of family and friends turning away from Him and mocking Him. He has felt the pain of hopelessness. His response? Remember the character and nature of God, which is good and loving. Turn to the Lord and wait for His deliverance, for He is just, and He will rescue and redeem. The Lord is our comforter and will not forget His people forever, though they suffer in this world. We suffer because this world is broken, we are broken, and those around us are broken, bringing pain and suffering, injustice and persecution sometimes because of our sin and sometimes because of their sin. In our rebellion against God to rule the world, He allows us to rule to the degree that we can, which is poor. God does intervene. God does intercede. God does care, and God will restore to glorious perfection one day, that day when He returns to establish His eternal kingdom on the new earth with all His people who have loved Him and persevered in faith and trust in Him while living on this earth. We know this is true because after Jesus suffered, He rose from the dead, proving that He is God and that His promises are true.
