How Long, Lord?

When your circumstances do not match God's promises, what do you pray? Psalm 13 gives you the words: protest, petition, and praise.

This message opens a three week series on the psalms of lament, the songs the Bible gives us for when life falls apart. Pastor Josue walks through Psalm 13 line by line, showing how David moves from an honest protest ("How long, Lord?") to a specific petition to a settled praise, before his circumstances ever change. Along the way, he addresses why the church has often struggled to lament well, what our emotions are actually telling us, and how the cross finally answers David's question.
