Does God still speak today? Part 1

At times in life, it may appear that God is absent, distant, or unresponsive. We struggle to find God, hear from God, or even feel his presence. We may assume that God is angry with us because of some failure in our life and that he does not want to interact with us. Psalm 13 is an honest prayer from David describing his struggle to find God. He asks God, “Will you forget me forever?”, “How long will you hide your face from me?”, and urgently requests God to respond to him. Have you ever felt abandon by God? Has his silence made you question his existence or love for you? Do you ever feel like your prayers are a waste of time? Today you may be feeling frustrated, angry, disillusioned, confused, wondering, questioning, or lonely because you feel distant from God, unable to receive even a word from him. In Psalm 13:3 – David asks God to look upon him and answer him. We may wonder at times: Does God still speak today?
