Ever prayed hard and then stared at the silence, wondering if God saw it at all? We’ve been there, and Psalm 10 gives us words for that exact moment. Pastor Brandon breaks down this “cry for justice” with a painfully relatable picture: it can feel like God left you on read, and your mind starts filling in the blanks with fear, frustration, and worst-case stories. 

Psalm 10 doesn’t sanitize the struggle. It names evil for what it is, calls out the way the wicked prey on the vulnerable, and refuses to pretend that oppression is small. Then the prayer turns a corner. We watch the psalmist move from “Where are You?” to “Arise, O Lord,” and finally to a steady confidence that God is King forever, that He sees trouble and grief, and that He defends the helpless, the orphan, and the oppressed. 

Along the way, we talk about a practical pattern you can use in your own prayer life: be honest about what you feel, ask clearly for help, remember what God has done before, and choose trust even before you see results. If you’re in a season where heaven feels quiet, we share why silence doesn’t mean absence and how you may only recognize God’s greatest work when you look back.
