Weston Park Baptist Church

At times God seems distant/absent and we cry out from our hearts, Where are you God? In such experiences we long to hear from our Father in heaven but the only response is silence. It is this theme of silence and waiting upon God that is captured in Psalm 88. The Psalmist becomes our representative in passing through such difficult and painful days. He encourages us to keep clinging, persevering, holding on to God in spite of the apparent heavenly indifference. As we persist in faith the clouds will eventually part and the divine rays of consolation and joy will be known.
