When God Feels Distant: Lessons from David’s Cry


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like God has hidden His face from you? Like your prayers go unanswered, and the weight of grief and anguish presses on your soul daily? In this episode, we step into the heart of David’s cry in Psalm 13, where even a man after God’s own heart wrestled with feelings of abandonment and silence.


We’ll explore his raw questions—“How long, O Lord?”—and his desperate plea for God to enlighten his weary eyes. Just as David longed for God’s presence to lift him from despair, we too can learn how to press in during seasons of anguish, doubt, and spiritual dryness.


This conversation will encourage you to trust God’s guidance through the chaos, to let Him strengthen your faith, and to remind you that His presence is never truly withdrawn—even when it feels that way.


Join us as we discover how to place our eyes on His shoulder, let Him plead our case, and find new strength and light in His love.
