This article discusses worship, which shows the basic relationships of faith. Good worship also reflects and builds the relationship with God and the world. This article according to the author should help the reader to understand how laments are already embedded in the Revised Common Lectionary and the places in the service of the word that can use laments. Several laments in the book of Psalms have their social context in the individual or family amidst grief. The author observes that much of the worship among the ill finds the gravity and poetry of the individual laments. This worship according to the author is also vibrant as the common worship.
