Young Adult Pastor Gary Jones shares a message on Psalms 28.

Most of us carry thoughts we don't say out loud. Questions we aren't sure how to ask — moments when we feel overwhelmed, disappointed, or unsure whether God is really hearing us.

Psalm 28 meets us in that space. It doesn't rush to a resolution or offer easy answers. It begins with honesty, a cry, and a plea from someone who desperately wants to be heard and fears what silence might mean.

And yet, this psalm moves us somewhere deeper. It teaches us how to pray when words fail, how to trust when answers delay, and how to rejoice not because life is easy, but because God is faithful.

As we open God's Word today, bring whatever you're carrying. Remember: God hears His people, strengthens them, and carries them forever.
