00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:09.279
<v SPEAKER_00>Have you ever had a question for God that felt too bold to say out loud?

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.519
<v SPEAKER_00>Maybe it was about injustice or suffering.

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.399
<v SPEAKER_00>Sometimes we assume faith means certainty, but scripture shows us something different.

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Psalm 10 begins with an honest question.

00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.239
<v SPEAKER_00>Why, Lord, do you stand far off?

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.320
<v SPEAKER_00>Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.200
<v SPEAKER_00>The psalmist does not hide his confusion.

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.600
<v SPEAKER_00>He brings it directly to God.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.880
<v SPEAKER_00>Today, we are going to remember that God is not threatened by our questions.

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.560
<v SPEAKER_00>He invites them.

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:51.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Take a moment to quiet your heart and become aware of his presence with you.

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:07.200
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank God that he is near, even when you do not fully understand what he is doing.

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Praise him that he welcomes honesty, not perfection.

00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.759
<v SPEAKER_00>I choose to trust you even when I do not see the whole picture.

00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.920
<v SPEAKER_00>Thank you for listening to me.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:38.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.
