How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? – Psalm 13:1 Psalm 13 is a lament – but despite the fact that David's circumstances don't change over its 6 short verses, he is able to move from defiant doubt to defiant trust. Teaching elder Scott Hetherington shows us how.
06/28/2026 Psalm 13 Under Pressure | Grief That Won't Go AwayBIG IDEA: Grief may linger, but God has not left“HOW LONG?”1. Grief often feels like God is far away. (vs 1-2) Feeling abandoned by God is not the same as being abandoned by God. In the midst of your grief, remember that God is present in it with you.2. Grief must be brought to God. (vs 3-4) (1Peter 5:7) Faith isn't the absence of grief, faith is bringing your grief to God.3. Grief doesn't”t get the final word. (vs 5-6) Grief won't change your circumstances, but it will grow your confidence in God's character.When the grief won't go away…1. Stop fighting the “how long”? It's ok to question God. Be patient while you wait for His answer.2. Bring your pain to God. (Psalm 62:8; Heb 4:16) God is a refuge for you.3. Anchor yourself in God's character. (Heb 13:8) God never changes.

Sermons By Antioch Community Church in Beverly, MA (Boston Area)
This sermon on Psalm 13 reminds us that we can and should be honest with God in the midst of our pain and struggles. When we experience doubt or loneliness, we are reminded that God is faithful, attentive and steadfast.
We live in a restless world. Constant noise. Constant pressure. Constant hurry. In a culture searching for peace, resilience, and emotional health, the Psalms give us language for hope, suffering and trust in God. This summer in Be Still, we'll explore how these ancient songs and prayers can quiet the noise of modern life, steady our souls, and anchor us in the presence and truth of God.

Lament Psalms | Psalm 13 Part 2 of The Psalms: A Complete Guide to Honest PrayerFeaturing a conversation between Ted Coniaris and Aubrey Sampson, with introduction and conclusion from John Ciesniewski.What if faith isn't about pretending everything is okay?Psalm 13 shows us that some of the most faithful prayers in Scripture begin with questions, pain, and confusion. In this episode, Aubrey Sampson joins Ted Coniaris to explore the gift of lament and why honest prayer is essential for spiritual growth.Lament Psalms teach us that going deeper with God does not mean hiding our struggles—it means bringing them honestly into His presence. Rather than turning away from God in suffering, lament teaches us how to turn toward Him with our grief, doubts, fears, and unanswered questions.In this episode you'll learn: Why lament is a vital but often neglected spiritual practice How Psalm 13 provides a model for honest prayer Why bringing pain to God is an act of faith How Jesus embraced lament during His suffering Practical ways to pray through seasons of grief, disappointment, and silence Whether you're walking through a difficult season or learning how to support someone who is, this conversation offers biblical wisdom, hope, and encouragement for the journey.Scripture: Psalm 13
Most of us don't pray honestly. Not because we're trying to be fake, but because we're not sure God can handle the real version. So we edit. We soften. We bring the composed version and hope it's enough.Psalm 13 blows that up. David shows up with accusations, exhaustion, and zero filter...and God didn't redact a word of it. He put it in the Bible.This message is about what makes that kind of honesty possible. It's about a love that was decided before you woke up this morning, that doesn't flinch at your anger or your doubt or your 2AM spiral. And it's about why the cross changes everything about how we pray in a "how long" season.Talk It Over:1. David prays with zero filter, accusation, exhaustion, raw honesty. When you pray, which version of yourself usually shows up? Why do you think that is?2. Observation #1 is about naming the gap between what God promised and what life actually feels like. What's a gap you've been afraid to name out loud, even to God?3. We talked about the 2AM spiral, where we're running scenarios, mapping outcomes, trying to think your way out of something thinking can't fix. What does your version of that look like, and have you ever brought it to God unfiltered?4. The pivot in verse 5 happens before anything changes. What would it look like for you to say "but I trust" right now…not because circumstances improved, but because 'hesed' doesn't change?5. David had a promise. We have the cross. How does knowing what 'hesed' actually cost change the way you pray in a "how long" season?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL
Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process. This summer will take us from Psalm 11 […]

In today's episode I will be praying over us, reading Psalm 13, and saying whatever the Holy Spirit prompts me to say after I read the scripture. This is day 13 of a series where I will be reading a Psalm everyday on here for 150 days. I challenge you to come to join me everyday as we use scripture to fight off the enemy and grow us in ways that we can't even imagine. Ahhh! I can't believe I'm finally saying this, but my first Christian children's book You Are Loved is officially launching on June 5th!

Recording on the road at the Canadian Biblical Counseling Coalition in Oakville, Ontario, Michael interviews biblical counselor Alysia Whiteside of Deep Roots Biblical Counseling. Whiteside shares her conversion in 2018, her interrupted plans to pursue medicine amid severe ulcerative colitis, multiple surgeries, and a permanent ileostomy, and how God redirected her into biblical counseling training and certifications. Her breakout topic, “Held But Not Yet Healed: Christ in the Midst of Physical and Mental Suffering,” frames chronic illness as “embodied suffering” that integrates physical, mental, and spiritual burdens and raises the question of who God is when healing does not come. Using Psalm 13, she explains a lament framework—turn, complain, ask, trust—leading to praise, emphasizing the “already but not yet” tension of hope amid suffering and encouraging sufferers and caregivers to write their own laments to rehearse God's character and respond faithfully.00:00 Welcome and Road Update01:30 Meet Alysia Whiteside02:26 Her Health Journey and Calling04:30 Training and Narsegesis06:14 Held But Not Yet Healed06:34 Reading Psalm 1308:29 Embodied Suffering and Hope12:18 Lament Framework Explained14:57 Trust and Gods Hesed19:05 Counseling the Stuck20:57 Write Your Own Lament23:26 Singing Joy in Suffering26:12 Encouragement for Chronic Pain27:16 Final Thanks and Wrap UpEpisode MentionsDeep Roots Biblical Counseling

How long can you carry something before it breaks you?And what do you do when God feels… silent?In this teaching on Psalm 13, John Ortberg walks us through one of the most honest prayers in Scripture: “How long, O Lord?”When pain lingers, when answers don't come, and when God feels distant, we face a choice. We can grumble—turning inward in bitterness and withdrawal—or we can groan—bringing our pain honestly before God.This Psalm shows us how to lament in a way that leads somewhere. Not by denying pain, but by bringing it fully into God's presence.If you're carrying something heavy right now—a relationship, anxiety, loss, or a long unanswered prayer—this teaching will help you turn that pain into prayer.

The prayer of Psalm 13 sets the pattern for many other psalms and for our own prayers as Christians. David repeatedly cries out to the LORD, “How long,” protesting God's seeming absence while David experiences the troubles of his soul and the attacks of his enemies. David then asks that the LORD answer him by granting him life and keeping the enemies from prevailing. Knowing the LORD's faithfulness, David continues in his trust and joins in the praises and songs of all God's people to the Savior. Rev. Zelwyn Heide, pastor at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hanover, ND and Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem, ND, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 13. To learn more about St. Peter and Zion Lutheran Churches, visit stpeterzion.org. Join Sharper Iron this spring to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
