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
Date: Wednesday, May 20, 2026Title: Learning to LamentPreacher: Wayne MeadowsSeries: The Psalms (Part 14)Passage: Psalm 13:1-6
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

Sermon for the Midweek of Lent V Wednesday, 25 March A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch
How Long O Lord | Tim Shorey
Summary Every believer eventually walks through a long, dark tunnel of suffering. In this sermon on Psalm 13, Dr. Michael Easley explains how David models honest faith when God feels distant and pain refuses to end. David begins with a raw lament: “How long, O Lord?” He feels forgotten, abandoned, and surrounded by enemies. Like many believers facing illness, loss, betrayal, or grief, David wonders if God has turned His face away. Yet the psalm shows that faith does not require pretending everything is fine. Scripture gives believers permission to bring their deepest fears and questions directly to God. The psalm then shifts from lament to petition. David asks God to consider him, answer him, and enlighten him. Like many of us, he longs to understand why suffering happens. But Easley reminds listeners that maturity often means learning to live with unanswered questions. Finally, the psalm ends with a deliberate choice. Despite unchanged circumstances, David trusts God's covenant love—His chesed, His loyal love rooted in His character. Because of who God is, David chooses to rejoice and sing. The tunnel may feel endless in the moment, but suffering will not last forever. When believers feel abandoned and exhausted, the only place to turn is the same place Peter turned: to Jesus, the One who alone has the words of eternal life. Takeaways Every believer will eventually walk through a season where God feels distant and suffering feels endless. Psalm 13 shows that honest lament—asking “How long, O Lord?”—is a biblical expression of faith, not unbelief. Spiritual maturity often means learning to live with unanswered “why” questions. God's love for believers rests on His covenant character and Christ's work, not our performance. David chooses to rejoice not because his situation changed but because God's loyal love never changes. When suffering leaves us nowhere else to turn, Jesus remains the only One with the words of eternal life. To read the Psalms, click here.Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Psalms #16 - Psalm 13 : Embrace The Pain by City|U Lubbock
Psalm 13 confronts a question many Christians are afraid to ask: What do you sing when life hurts? In this message, we explore the biblical language of lament—how God invites His people to bring their sorrow, questions, and pain directly to Him. Rather than pretending everything is fine, Scripture teaches us a better path: honestly bringing our sorrows to God, confidently bringing our requests to Him, and ultimately learning to praise Him even in the midst of suffering. If you've ever felt forgotten by God, worn down by trials, or unsure how to pray in painful seasons, Psalm 13 shows us that lament is not unbelief—it is an act of faith that leads us back to hope.Watch the full sermon here and learn how God teaches His people to move from heartbreak to hope.HoriconBaptist.com#Psalm13 #BiblicalLament #ChristianSuffering #HopeInGod #HoriconBaptistChurch #FaithInTrials #ThePsalms #FaithComesByHearing
This sermon comes from one of our family Sunday services. In the sermon we talk about the "twins" of prayer found in the Psalms; lament and gratitude.
Psalm 131 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.6 I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been good to me.
Psalm 13 is one of the most honest prayers in Scripture. David cries out in frustration, grief, and longing — asking God how long the silence will last.In this episode, we explore the power of lament and the surprising turn Psalm 13 takes from despair to determined trust. This conversation reminds us that faith doesn't ignore pain — it brings it to God.If you're walking through a season of waiting, discouragement, or unanswered prayers, this episode will help you see that you're not alone — and that trust can rise even before the situation changes.Season 4 is all about the Psalms — real prayers for real life.Scripture Focus: Psalms 13

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for February 12th, 2026! In today's episode, your host Hunter invites us to join him on day 43 of our journey through the Bible. We tackle the challenging passages of Leviticus 18 and 19, exploring God's call to holiness, justice, and care for others—even when the text feels mysterious or difficult to comprehend. The episode moves through Psalm 13's heartfelt cries for God's presence and then dives into Acts 19, where Paul boldly proclaims the arrival of God's kingdom in Ephesus, stirring both transformation and turmoil. Hunter reminds us of the importance of curiosity, perseverance, and faith, calling us to let God's agenda rule our lives. The episode closes with uplifting prayers for peace, unity, and strength, encouraging us to keep pressing on—even through the hard parts of scripture. Join Hunter as we warm our hearts by the fires of God's love, learn together, and remember: you are loved, no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message hasn't changed. The kingdom of God is here. That's what Paul was persistently preaching in Ephesus, and it's what we need to hear again today. Hunter points us to Acts 19, where Paul boldly argues about the kingdom of God—not just for a moment, but for months, even years, so that all who would listen, Jew and Greek alike, might understand. What is this kingdom that Paul proclaims? It's the reality that the King has come—Jesus. His arrival signals the breaking in of something new, a kingdom not built on the agendas of this world, not subject to its idols, not content to serve anyone's interests but God's own. In Ephesus, Paul's message disrupted more than religious routines; it overturned business interests, social orders, and deeply held allegiances. Like Demetrius the silversmith observed, this news, this gospel, this announcement wasn't just an add-on to the existing way of things. It threatened to derail the very agenda of Artemis—of the competing gods and pursuits of the world. And here's the truth: God has an agenda for your life too, and it isn't always easy or comfortable. It might mean things get turned over, that familiar structures come undone, and that priorities are rearranged. When God invades, things don't stay the same. But He is fully committed: committed to His own purpose, yes, but also to you—rooting you deeply in the circle of His love, bringing you into the Kingdom for which you were made. The invitation, then, is to let His agenda become your own, to step into the joy, freedom, and purpose found only in the reign of King Jesus. This is where barriers come down, lives are changed, and communities are renewed. This is the place of true belonging, adoption, forgiveness, and love. That's my prayer for myself, for my family, for you. May we all see His kingdom come in every part of our lives. May the joy, freedom, and love of Christ rule in us. May we live as citizens of His Kingdom, knowing that in all things—we are loved. No doubt about it. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.
