If you have ever felt like God was distant despite doing all the right things, this message is for you. In the second week of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Mike LaBerge explores Psalm 13 and addresses a profound question that every believer eventually faces: What do I do when God feels distant? This is not just a theoretical issue; it's a real, raw experience that David expressed in one of the most vulnerable psalms in all of Scripture.“How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?” This question isn't from someone who has given up on God; it comes from someone who loves God enough to be honest with Him. Pastor Mike demonstrates that this level of honesty is not a sign of weak faith; rather, it is the beginning of genuine faith.This message provides two powerful tools. First, it helps you assess what you are truly feeling and why. Have you drifted away from God, or is He trying to mature you through a challenge that cannot be rushed? Second, it offers practical ways to address those feelings through honesty, remembrance, and developing a rhythm that reconnects you with God.The truth is that God does not move away from us, but we have an incredible capacity to drift. The good news is that all it takes to return is a simple turn back to Him.

Life has a way of applying pressure that no amount of distraction can relieve. And if you are honest, the thing you reach for first when that pressure hits says everything about where your trust actually is.In this first message of the Summer Psalms series, Pastor Grant Hoyle opens up Psalm 61 and takes us into one of the most raw and honest prayers in all of Scripture. David is not sitting on his throne when he writes this. He is on the run. His son has turned against him. His closest friends have abandoned him. The kingdom God gave him is collapsing before his eyes. And yet out of that place of complete overwhelm David writes one of the most faith filled prayers ever recorded.This message is not about having the right words when you pray. It is not about sounding spiritual or impressive. It is about learning what David learned in the middle of the worst season of his life. That real prayer begins with honest surrender. That pressure reveals where we run, but prayer leads us to the rock. And that remembering what God has already done is the most powerful medicine for a heart that is overwhelmed right now.If you have been faking strength while you are actually falling apart, this message is for you. If you have been reaching for every distraction available rather than bringing what you are carrying to God, this message was made for you. And if you need to be reminded that the same God who has carried you through every hard season before is the same God who is carrying you through this one, this message was made for you.
