Faith in the Midst of Silence

Reading: Psalm 13

Devotional: David's lament in this Psalm resonates with anyone who has felt God's silence. He cries out, "How long, O Lord?" Yet by the end, he's singing of God's unfailing love. When prayers seem unanswered, it's easy to doubt God's presence or care. But like David, we're called to trust even when we don't understand. Today, if you're struggling with seeming silence from God, pour out your heart honestly like David did. Then, challenge yourself to end your prayer by affirming God's faithfulness, even if you don't feel it. This act of faith can be transformative, reminding us that God's love remains steadfast even in our doubts.

Reflection Question:

When God seems silent, do you tend to withdraw or draw nearer? Why?

Action Step:

Write your own short psalm or prayer, beginning with honest questions or frustration and ending with a declaration of trust in God’s love and faithfulness.
