We all need to blow off steam sometimes: to vent, to scream, to throw a tantrum. Can we do this with God? Sure.

In Psalm 13:1-4, David is venting and feels God is not answering him.

Big Idea:

When God seems silent, He is just waiting for you to be quiet.

Why be quiet?

Practice reflection.

John Dewey (educational reformer):

“You don’t learn from experience. You learn from reflecting on experience.”

So you can:

  1. Remember (v.6),

  2. Which leads to Trust (v.5),

  3. And brings Blessing (v.5).

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 42:10)
