What do you do when God feels slow, late, or silent? Psalm 13 gives language for those seasons: “How long, Lord?” This message explores how lament is the sound faith makes when God is silent—how we keep talking to God until He’s ready to answer.

In this message you’ll learn:

The difference between grumbling, cynicism, despair—and biblical lament

How lament moves us toward God instead of away from Him

Why waiting isn’t wasted: while we wait, God is working

How to cling to God’s unfailing love (Psalm 13:5–6) even without instant answers

Key Scriptures:

Psalm 13; John 11:1–44 (Lazarus); John 6:26–69

Big Idea:

Lament is not unbelief. It is faith refusing to let silence have the last word.

Reflection Questions:

Where are you tempted to turn your pain into resentment, despair, or numbness?

What would it look like to bring honest, specific lament to God this week?

What past faithfulness of God can you “call to mind” as you wait?
