Big Question

Why does God sometimes feel silent, even when we are seeking Him?

Anchor Truth

God’s silence does not mean God’s absence.

Primary Group Text

Psalm 13

Scripture (BSB): Psalm 13

How Long, O LORD?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Formation Aim

To help believers remain near God in seasons of silence, practice faithful obedience without immediate clarity, and live as the hands and feet of Jesus through good works.
