Even in the Silence
When life feels chaotic and God seems quiet, it’s easy to wonder where He is, or if He’s listening at all. In the book of Habakkuk, we meet a prophet who wrestled through that very tension, bringing his raw questions to God and choosing faith even without immediate answers. His journey invites us to be honest with our doubts and discover a deeper trust in the God who never stops working.

The Power of Lament

A day comes when the unexpected happens and is bigger than you can handle

When the unexpected happens, two questions surface
1. How long, Lord?
2. Why, Lord?

“…The righteous shall live by his faith.” – Habakkuk 2:4
Those who are right with God live by faith in Him

Habakkuk 1

Three Steps Toward Faith

1. Lament
Lament:  a passionate expression of grief, sorrow, helplessness, and repentance

Lament
When our hearts are broken – Psalm 130:1; Mark 14:36
When we feel helpless – Psalm 6:3; 2 Chronicles 20:12
When we sin – Matthew 3:8; Acts 2:38; James 5:1; 2 Corinthians 7:10

The Power of Lament
Remembering that Jesus lamented, and He walks with us when we do
Understanding that lament is not weakness; it’s worship through pain
Realizing that time alone doesn’t heal, but time with God does
Processing grief with God, knowing that He has a plan

Remembering God’s character breaks through the silence and confusion

2. Remember the character of God

Without beginning or end

Never changes–His love, justice, holiness
Has and is the source of all things
Limitless power and knowledge

3. Meet with God Habakkuk 2:1
Get alone with Him to get perspective
