Summary

✨Have you ever felt suffocated as if your prayers hit a wall, and sensed God's silence?✨

David felt the same. When God was silent, he cried out that he was like one going down to the grave.

But David did not leave God in disappointment; looking only to the Lord who is the Rock, he lifted his hands even more and cried out.

The situation remained the same, but David believed in the faithful God and praised in advance as if already answered.

Jesus trusted the Father to the end even in the deep silence of the cross, and through that obedience, He opened the way of salvation for us.

God's silence is not rejection but a process of deeper encounter. Let us believe and praise the Lord who is my strength and my shield.

Sermon Summary Key Points

Content Summary
✦ David called upon God as my Rock but all that returned was complete silence, and this silence was agony like death as one going down to the grave for David, yet David chose not to be disappointed or leave but to approach God more earnestly saying do not be deaf to me.
✦ David accused hypocritical evildoers who speak peace outwardly but harbor malice inwardly and requested judgment, and the reason they should be judged is because they ignore God's works, and David did not take revenge directly but entrusted full authority to God.

David's Attitude
✦ David abandoned pride even in silence and approached the place of prayer acknowledging that only God is hope, and showed maturity by trusting God's justice over personal vengeance and entrusting judgment to the Lord.
✦ David praised at the end of prayer saying the LORD is my strength and my shield though the situation remained the same, and this is a declaration of faith confident of answer, and David's prayer expanded beyond personal to intercession for the entire people asking God to be their eternal shepherd.

Lessons for Us
✦ Remember that even if prayer seems to hit empty air it is not abandonment and cry out more earnestly, and acknowledge there is nowhere to go but God and break through the silence to draw closer.
✦ Do not tolerate the prosperity of the wicked but seek righteous judgment with holy anger, yet do not try to resolve with our own hands but entrust all sovereignty to God, and experience the reversal of ending with praise remembering God's character even if starting with lament, and hold onto promises not reality and rejoice victoriously as if already answered.
