🎙️ Season 5 | Episode 85
He Has Heard (Psalm 28)
Praying through the Silence
Hosted by Kenny Price
Have you ever prayed and wondered whether God was listening?
You pray. You wait. Nothing seems to change. And somewhere in the silence, you begin to wonder whether your words are getting any further than the ceiling.
In Psalm 28, David knows that feeling. He begins with an urgent plea: “LORD, I call to you; my rock, do not be deaf to me.” But just five verses later, his prayer takes an unexpected turn: “Blessed be the LORD, for he has heard the sound of my pleading.”
What happened between those two statements? That's the question at the heart of this episode.
🙏 In this episode, you'll discover:
🪨 Why David's greatest fear wasn't simply his enemies, but the silence of God.
🤲 What it means to call God your rock even when you cannot see what he's doing.
💬 Why lament isn't the opposite of faith, but often an expression of it.
🔑 The significance of verse 6, where David moves from pleading to praise without describing an intervening rescue.
❤️ How trust, help, and thanksgiving reshape your response to hardship.
🐑 Why David's personal prayer ultimately widens into an intercession for God's people.
And there's something more. David's prayer points beyond himself to Jesus, whose words at the tomb of Lazarus remind us that the Father hears him always.
If you've trusted Christ, you don't approach God as a stranger hoping to get his attention. You come as his child. The Spirit helps you pray, Jesus intercedes for you, and your Father hears.
You may not know when the silence will end. But you can know the One you're praying to.
