The big-picture narrative of the gospel anticipates ultimate restoration in the new heavens and the new earth. This theme is woven through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Lament yearns for the fulfillment of this future reality. It could be your longing for restoration in your soul, your marriage, your family, your church, or your nation—or the final restoration of the world with the permanent removal of pain and brokenness. Regardless, this request asks God to bring spiritual healing at any level and in any area.
