What do you do when God feels far away and life feels too heavy to carry?

In this first part of a two-part series, we open Psalm 13—a gut-wrenching prayer from David that gives voice to the silence, sorrow, and confusion that often accompany seasons of grief.

David doesn’t start with strength; he begins with struggle.

Four times he cries out, “How long, O Lord?”

Not because he stopped believing, but because he was barely holding on.

This isn’t a sermon about having all the answers.

It’s about having permission to question, wrestle, and bring your raw, unfiltered emotions to God without shame.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✅ Why God’s silence isn’t the same as His absence

✅ How grief becomes a mental and spiritual battlefield

✅ What Psalm 13 teaches us about permission, lament, and trust

Whether you're in a season of loss or simply feeling spiritually dry, this episode is for you.

Come be reminded that even in the silence, God is still near, and you are not forgotten.
