Trusting God in the Silence

Trusting God in the Silence

Good Morning Ekklesia Family


Psalm 13 is a heartfelt cry from David during a time of deep distress. In this short psalm, he asks, "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?" (v.1). David wrestles with feelings of abandonment, anguish, and doubt, yet he transitions from lament to faith. By the end, he declares, "But I trust in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation" (v.5). This psalm reflects the human experience of suffering while highlighting God’s unchanging faithfulness.


David’s cry teaches us that it is not sinful to express our doubts or struggles before God; in fact, it is an act of faith. God invites us to bring our pain to Him, knowing He hears and responds in His perfect timing.


  • In our waiting seasons: If you are in a season where God seems silent, Psalm 13 reminds us to lean into trust rather than despair. God's timing is always perfect, even when we can't see the full picture.

  • Surrender your pain: Like David, turn your questions into prayers. Be honest with God, yet anchor yourself in His steadfast love and promises.

  • Faith over feelings: The psalm calls us to move from lament to praise. We may feel forgotten, but the truth is that God never abandons His children (Deuteronomy 31:6). Shift your focus from what you feel to what you know—God’s faithfulness is your foundation.


Heavenly Father, like David, we cry out to You in times of distress, asking, "How long, O Lord?" Yet, we choose to trust in Your steadfast love and rejoice in Your salvation. We surrender our doubts, pain, and waiting seasons to You, knowing that You are faithful and will act in Your perfect time. Fill us with hope and courage to keep walking in faith, even when we don't see the way forward. Help us to worship You, not only in the victories but also in the waiting. In Jesus' name, Amen.


Today, we invite you to experience the steadfast love of God that David spoke of. At Ekklesia Christian Life, we believe that life is transformed when we surrender to Jesus Christ. If you are feeling abandoned or weighed down, Jesus is inviting you to trust Him. Come and walk this journey with us as we grow in faith, hope, and love together. Visit us at ekklesiachristianlife.org/family to learn more about becoming a disciple of Christ and connecting with a community that cares.


Let us move from lament to trust, knowing that our God never fails. Amen.
