Why Does God Feel So Silent Right Now? · Becoming Financially Confident

• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  got
• 0:38
  this
• 0:38
  question.
• 0:38
  I
• 0:38
  just
• 0:38
  had
• 0:39
  to
• 0:39
  share
• 0:39
  it
• 0:39
  on
• 0:39
  today's
• 0:40
  show.
• 0:40
  Ralph,
• 0:41
  I've
• 0:41
  been
• 0:41
  praying
• 0:41
  for
• 0:42
  a
• 0:42
  financial
• 0:42
  breakthrough,
• 0:43
  but
• 0:43
  it
• 0:43
  feels
• 0:44
  like
• 0:44
  God's
• 0:44
  not
• 0:44
  even
• 0:45
  listening.
• 0:46
  I'm
• 0:46
  doing
• 0:46
  everything
• 0:46
  right,
• 0:47
  but
• 0:48
  nothing's
• 0:48
  changing.
• 0:49
  Why
• 0:49
  does
• 0:50
  he
• 0:50
  feel
• 0:50
  so
• 0:50
  silent?
• 0:52
  And
• 0:52
  I
• 0:53
  took
• 0:53
  a
• 0:53
  little
• 0:53
  bit
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  I
• 0:53
  thought,
• 0:53
  you
• 0:54
  know
• 0:54
  what?
• 0:54
  This
• 0:54
  reminds
• 0:54
  me
• 0:54
  of
• 0:55
  the
• 0:55
  famous
• 0:55
  poem.
• 0:55
  And
• 0:55
  I
• 0:55
  want
• 0:56
  to
• 0:56
  read
• 0:56
  this
• 0:56
  poem
• 0:56
  today
• 0:56
  on
• 0:56
  the
• 0:57
  show
• 0:57
  because
• 0:58
  I
• 0:58
  felt
• 0:58
  like
• 0:58
  this
• 0:58
  just
• 0:58
  connected
• 0:59
  with
• 0:59
  your
• 0:59
  question.
• 0:59
  It's
• 1:00
  called
• 1:00
  Footprints
• 1:00
  in
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  Sand.
• 1:01
  Now,
• 1:01
  this
• 1:01
  is
• 1:01
  one
• 1:01
  of
• 1:01
  those
• 1:02
  public
• 1:02
  domains,
• 1:02
  so
• 1:02
  I
• 1:02
  don't
• 1:03
  know
• 1:03
  any
• 1:03
  exactly
• 1:04
  who
• 1:04
  wrote
• 1:04
  it,
• 1:04
  but
• 1:04
  let
• 1:04
  me
• 1:05
  just
• 1:05
  read
• 1:05
  that
• 1:05
  today.
• 1:06
  And
• 1:07
  it
• 1:07
  says
• 1:07
  this.
• 1:07
  One
• 1:07
  night
• 1:07
  I
• 1:08
  dreamed
• 1:08
  I
• 1:08
  was
• 1:08
  walking
• 1:09
  along
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  beach
• 1:09
  with
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  Lord.
• 1:10
  Many
• 1:11
  scenes
• 1:11
  from
• 1:11
  my
• 1:11
  life
• 1:12
  flashed
• 1:12
  across
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  sky.
• 1:13
  In
• 1:14
  each
• 1:14
  scene,
• 1:14
  I
• 1:14
  noticed
• 1:15
  footprints
• 1:15
  in
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  sand.
• 1:16
  Sometimes
• 1:17
  there
• 1:17
  were
• 1:17
  two
• 1:17
  sets
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  footprints.
• 1:19
  Other
• 1:19
  times
• 1:19
  there
• 1:20
  was
• 1:20
  only
• 1:20
  one
• 1:20
  set
• 1:20
  of
• 1:21
  footprints.
• 1:22
  This
• 1:22
  bothered
• 1:22
  me
• 1:23
  because
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  noticed
• 1:23
  that
• 1:23
  during
• 1:24
  the
• 1:24
  low
• 1:24
  periods
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  my
• 1:25
  life,
• 1:25
  when
• 1:26
  I
• 1:26
  was
• 1:26
  suffering
• 1:26
  from
• 1:27
  anguish,
• 1:27
  sorrow,
• 1:28
  or
• 1:28
  defeat,
• 1:29
  I
• 1:29
  could
• 1:30
  see
• 1:30
  only
• 1:30
  one
• 1:30
  set
• 1:30
  of
• 1:30
  footprints.
• 1:32
  So
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  said
• 1:32
  to
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  Lord,
• 1:33
  you
• 1:33
  promised
• 1:33
  me,
• 1:33
  Lord,
• 1:34
  that
• 1:34
  if
• 1:34
  I
• 1:34
  followed
• 1:34
  you,
• 1:35
  you
• 1:35
  would
• 1:35
  walk
• 1:35
  with
• 1:35
  me
• 1:36
  always.
• 1:37
  But
• 1:37
  I've
• 1:38
  noticed
• 1:38
  that
• 1:38
  during
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  most
• 1:38
  trying
• 1:39
  periods
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  my
• 1:39
  life,
• 1:40
  there's
• 1:41
  only
• 1:41
  been
• 1:41
  one
• 1:41
  set
• 1:41
  of
• 1:41
  footprints
• 1:42
  in
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  sand.
• 1:43
  Why,
• 1:44
  when
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  needed
• 1:44
  you
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  most,
• 1:45
  have
• 1:45
  you
• 1:45
  not
• 1:45
  been
• 1:45
  there
• 1:46
  for
• 1:46
  me?
• 1:47
  And
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  Lord
• 1:48
  replied.
• 1:48
  He
• 1:48
  said,
• 1:48
  my
• 1:48
  precious
• 1:49
  child,
• 1:49
  I
• 1:49
  love
• 1:49
  you
• 1:50
  and
• 1:50
  I
• 1:51
  would
• 1:51
  never
• 1:51
  leave
• 1:51
  you.
• 1:52
  During
• 1:52
  your
• 1:53
  times
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  trial
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  suffering,
• 1:54
  when
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  see
• 1:55
  only
• 1:55
  one
• 1:55
  set
• 1:55
  of
• 1:56
  footprints,
• 1:57
  it
• 1:57
  was
• 1:57
  then
• 1:58
  that
• 1:58
  I
• 1:58
  carried
• 1:59
  you.
• 2:00
  And,
• 2:00
  you
• 2:01
  know,
• 2:01
  I
• 2:01
  think
• 2:01
  we
• 2:01
  all
• 2:01
  can
• 2:01
  learn
• 2:02
  from
• 2:02
  that.
• 2:02
  It
• 2:02
  kind
• 2:02
  of
• 2:02
  chokes
• 2:02
  me
• 2:02
  up
• 2:03
  as
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  read
• 2:03
  that,
• 2:03
  because
• 2:04
  we've
• 2:04
  all
• 2:04
  had
• 2:04
  seasons
• 2:05
  where
• 2:05
  we
• 2:05
  feel
• 2:05
  like
• 2:06
  God
• 2:06
  has
• 2:06
  gone
• 2:06
  silent.
• 2:08
  We
• 2:08
  have
• 2:08
  those
• 2:08
  times
• 2:08
  when
• 2:09
  we
• 2:09
  might
• 2:09
  be
• 2:09
  praying
• 2:09
  incessantly.
• 2:10
  We're
• 2:10
  waiting,
• 2:11
  we're
• 2:11
  hoping,
• 2:12
  but
• 2:12
  nothing
• 2:13
  seems
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  change.
• 2:15
  The
• 2:15
  heavens
• 2:15
  feel
• 2:15
  quiet.
• 2:16
  And
• 2:16
  you
• 2:16
  start
• 2:16
  to
• 2:16
  wonder,
• 2:17
  lord,
• 2:18
  are
• 2:18
  you
• 2:18
  even
• 2:19
  listening?
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  maybe
• 2:21
  that's
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  right
• 2:21
  now.
• 2:22
  You've
• 2:23
  been
• 2:23
  asking
• 2:23
  God
• 2:23
  for
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  breakthrough,
• 2:24
  maybe
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  financial
• 2:25
  breakthrough.
• 2:25
  Maybe
• 2:25
  it's
• 2:26
  a
• 2:26
  job,
• 2:26
  maybe
• 2:27
  healing.
• 2:28
  Or
• 2:28
  maybe
• 2:29
  it's
• 2:29
  a
• 2:29
  relationship
• 2:29
  you
• 2:30
  desperately
• 2:30
  want
• 2:30
  restored.
• 2:32
  And
• 2:32
  no
• 2:32
  matter
• 2:33
  how
• 2:33
  much
• 2:33
  you
• 2:33
  pray,
• 2:33
  it
• 2:33
  feels
• 2:34
  like
• 2:34
  your
• 2:34
  words
• 2:34
  are
• 2:35
  just
• 2:35
  hitting
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  ceiling.
• 2:36
  But,
• 2:36
  friend,
• 2:36
  here's
• 2:36
  what
• 2:37
  I
• 2:37
  want
• 2:37
  you
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  hear
• 2:37
  today.
• 2:39
  The
• 2:39
  same
• 2:39
  God
• 2:40
  who
• 2:40
  carried
• 2:40
  that
• 2:40
  man
• 2:41
  in
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  poem
• 2:42
  is
• 2:42
  carrying
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43
  right
• 2:43
  now.
• 2:44
  You
• 2:44
  just
• 2:44
  may
• 2:44
  not
• 2:44
  realize
• 2:45
  it
• 2:45
  yet,
• 2:45
  but.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:46
  he's
• 2:46
  there
• 2:46
  quietly
• 2:46
  holding
• 2:47
  you
• 2:47
  up
• 2:47
  while
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  think
• 2:48
  you're
• 2:48
  walking
• 2:49
  alone.
• 2:49
  Let's
• 2:50
  break
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  silence
• 2:50
  on
• 2:50
  today's
• 2:51
  show.
• 2:53
  This
• 2:53
  is
• 2:53
  financially
• 2:54
  confident
• 2:54
  Christian
• 2:55
  Your

  tips

  to

  help
• 2:59
  you
• 3:00
  break
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  cycle
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  financial
• 3:01
  shame
• 3:01
  with
• 3:02
  confidence.
• 3:04
  Welcome
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  show.
• 3:05
  I'm
• 3:05
  Ralph.
• 3:06
  I
• 3:06
  know
• 3:06
  it's
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  little
• 3:06
  bit
• 3:07
  different
• 3:07
  feel
• 3:07
  today,
• 3:08
  but
• 3:08
  my
• 3:08
  goal
• 3:08
  every
• 3:09
  day
• 3:09
  is
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  help
• 3:09
  you
• 3:09
  break
• 3:10
  that
• 3:10
  cycle
• 3:10
  of
• 3:10
  financial
• 3:11
  shame
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  do
• 3:11
  it
• 3:11
  with
• 3:11
  confidence.
• 3:13
  And
• 3:13
  I'm
• 3:13
  going
• 3:13
  to
• 3:13
  tell
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  really
• 3:14
  heartfelt
• 3:14
  story
• 3:15
  today.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  it
• 3:16
  happened
• 3:16
  about
• 3:16
  six
• 3:17
  years
• 3:17
  ago.
• 3:17
  My
• 3:17
  wife
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  I
• 3:18
  decided
• 3:18
  to
• 3:18
  separate.
• 3:20
  It
• 3:20
  was
• 3:20
  not
• 3:20
  an
• 3:20
  easy
• 3:21
  time
• 3:21
  for
• 3:21
  either
• 3:21
  one
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  us.
• 3:22
  And
• 3:23
  I
• 3:23
  remember
• 3:23
  when
• 3:24
  she
• 3:24
  left,
• 3:24
  she
• 3:24
  packed
• 3:24
  her
• 3:24
  things
• 3:25
  and
• 3:25
  moved
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  another
• 3:25
  state.
• 3:27
  Every
• 3:27
  day
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  got
• 3:28
  up
• 3:28
  and
• 3:28
  man,
• 3:28
  it
• 3:28
  was
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  struggle
• 3:29
  just
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  get
• 3:29
  up
• 3:29
  in
• 3:29
  the
• 3:30
  morning.
• 3:30
  And
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  prayed
• 3:30
  every
• 3:30
  day
• 3:30
  I
• 3:31
  prayed
• 3:31
  for
• 3:31
  healing.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:32
  I
• 3:32
  remember
• 3:33
  those
• 3:33
  prayers
• 3:33
  vividly.
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  begged
• 3:34
  God,
• 3:34
  I
• 3:34
  said,
• 3:34
  God,
• 3:35
  give
• 3:35
  me
• 3:35
  a
• 3:35
  sign.
• 3:35
  Give
• 3:36
  me
• 3:36
  some
• 3:36
  proof
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  you're
• 3:37
  still
• 3:37
  hearing
• 3:37
  me.
• 3:38
  I
• 3:38
  felt
• 3:38
  like
• 3:38
  he
• 3:38
  was
• 3:39
  just
• 3:39
  completely
• 3:39
  silent
• 3:40
  to
• 3:40
  me.
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  didn't
• 3:43
  see
• 3:43
  it
• 3:43
  then,
• 3:45
  but
• 3:45
  as
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  look
• 3:45
  back
• 3:46
  at
• 3:46
  it
• 3:46
  now,
• 3:46
  God
• 3:46
  was
• 3:46
  working.
• 3:47
  And
• 3:48
  it
• 3:48
  wasn't
• 3:48
  in
• 3:48
  the
• 3:48
  way
• 3:48
  I
• 3:49
  expected.
• 3:49
  He
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  preparing
• 3:50
  our
• 3:50
  hearts.
• 3:51
  He
• 3:52
  was
• 3:52
  teaching
• 3:52
  both
• 3:52
  of
• 3:52
  us
• 3:53
  patience.
• 3:54
  And
• 3:55
  he
• 3:55
  was
• 3:55
  just
• 3:55
  ever
• 3:55
  so
• 3:56
  slightly
• 3:56
  rebuilding
• 3:56
  what
• 3:56
  had
• 3:57
  been
• 3:57
  broken.
• 3:59
  And
• 3:59
  I'm
• 3:59
  happy
• 4:00
  to
• 4:00
  tell
• 4:00
  you
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  we
• 4:00
  were
• 4:01
  restored.
• 4:02
  We
• 4:02
  were
• 4:03
  two
• 4:03
  days
• 4:03
  away
• 4:03
  from
• 4:04
  our
• 4:04
  divorce
• 4:04
  being
• 4:04
  finalized.
• 4:07
  And
• 4:07
  he
• 4:07
  answered
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  prayer.
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  I
• 4:10
  realized
• 4:10
  something
• 4:10
  powerful
• 4:11
  in
• 4:11
  that.
• 4:11
  In
• 4:11
  those
• 4:12
  seasons,
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  thought
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  was
• 4:13
  walking
• 4:13
  alone.
• 4:14
  God
• 4:15
  was
• 4:15
  carrying
• 4:15
  me
• 4:15
  the
• 4:16
  whole
• 4:16
  time.
• 4:18
  So
• 4:18
  let's
• 4:18
  get
• 4:18
  back
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  our
• 4:19
  question
• 4:19
  today.
• 4:20
  Why
• 4:21
  does
• 4:21
  he
• 4:21
  feel
• 4:21
  so
• 4:21
  silent?
• 4:23
  And
• 4:23
  I
• 4:23
  just
• 4:24
  want
• 4:24
  to
• 4:24
  build
• 4:24
  you
• 4:24
  up
• 4:24
  today
• 4:24
  because
• 4:25
  God's
• 4:25
  silence
• 4:25
  does
• 4:26
  not
• 4:26
  equal
• 4:26
  absence.
• 4:28
  You
• 4:29
  got
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  just
• 4:29
  accept
• 4:29
  that.
• 4:30
  When
• 4:30
  he
• 4:30
  seems
• 4:30
  quiet,
• 4:33
  I
• 4:33
  truly
• 4:33
  believe
• 4:33
  he's
• 4:34
  working
• 4:34
  in
• 4:34
  ways
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  can't
• 4:34
  see.
• 4:35
  When
• 4:35
  I
• 4:35
  was
• 4:35
  going
• 4:35
  through
• 4:35
  that
• 4:36
  season
• 4:36
  of
• 4:36
  my
• 4:36
  life,
• 4:37
  I
• 4:38
  wasn't
• 4:38
  hearing
• 4:38
  him,
• 4:39
  but
• 4:39
  man,
• 4:40
  he
• 4:40
  was
• 4:40
  working
• 4:40
  on
• 4:40
  me.
• 4:41
  He
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  working
• 4:41
  on
• 4:41
  her,
• 4:42
  he
• 4:42
  was
• 4:42
  working
• 4:42
  on
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  whole
• 4:42
  situation.
• 4:44
  Another
• 4:44
  thing
• 4:45
  I
• 4:45
  want
• 4:45
  you
• 4:45
  to
• 4:45
  really
• 4:46
  understand.
• 4:46
  His
• 4:46
  delay
• 4:47
  does
• 4:47
  not
• 4:47
  equal
• 4:48
  denial.
• 4:49
  See,
• 4:49
  sometimes
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  Lord
• 4:50
  says
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  us,
• 4:50
  not
• 4:51
  yet.
• 4:52
  That's
• 4:52
  not
• 4:52
  something
• 4:52
  we
• 4:52
  want
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  hear.
• 4:53
  Oftentimes
• 4:54
  you
• 4:54
  might
• 4:55
  be
• 4:55
  going
• 4:55
  through
• 4:55
  a
• 4:56
  struggle.
• 4:56
  Right
• 4:56
  now.
• 4:56
  You're
• 4:56
  like
• 4:57
  Ralph,
• 4:57
  he
• 4:57
  keeps
• 4:57
  telling
• 4:58
  me,
• 4:58
  not
• 4:58
  yet,
• 4:58
  but
• 4:58
  man,
• 4:59
  when
• 4:59
  is
• 4:59
  he
• 4:59
  going
• 4:59
  to
• 4:59
  be
• 5:00
  there
• 5:00
  for
• 5:00
  me?
• 5:02
  But
• 5:02
  just
• 5:02
  think
• 5:03
  about
• 5:03
  this.
• 5:03
  He's
• 5:03
  protecting
• 5:04
  you.
• 5:04
  He's
• 5:04
  positioning
• 5:05
  you
• 5:05
  for
• 5:05
  something
• 5:06
  even
• 5:06
  greater.
• 5:06
  You
• 5:07
  got
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  have
• 5:07
  faith.
• 5:07
  And
• 5:08
  that's
• 5:08
  why
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  say
• 5:09
  this
• 5:09
  next.
• 5:09
  You
• 5:09
  got
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  have
• 5:10
  faith
• 5:10
  in
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  dark.
• 5:12
  See,
• 5:12
  your
• 5:12
  trust
• 5:13
  needs
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  be
• 5:13
  rooted
• 5:13
  in
• 5:14
  something
• 5:14
  deeper.
• 5:15
  And
• 5:16
  when
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  feel
• 5:16
  like,
• 5:17
  picture
• 5:17
  that
• 5:18
  poem
• 5:18
  when
• 5:18
  you're.
• 5:18
  When
• 5:18
  there's
• 5:19
  only
• 5:19
  one
• 5:19
  set
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  footprints
• 5:21
  he's
• 5:21
  carrying
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  that
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  might
• 5:24
  feel
• 5:24
  like
• 5:24
  he's
• 5:24
  completely
• 5:24
  far
• 5:25
  away
• 5:25
  from
• 5:25
  you.
• 5:26
  And
• 5:26
  you're
• 5:27
  like,
• 5:27
  ralph,
• 5:27
  I
• 5:27
  don't
• 5:27
  know
• 5:27
  if
• 5:27
  I'm
• 5:27
  gonna
• 5:28
  get
• 5:28
  through
• 5:28
  this.
• 5:28
  Well,
• 5:28
  just
• 5:29
  remember,
• 5:29
  it's
• 5:30
  during
• 5:30
  those
• 5:30
  seasons
• 5:30
  that
• 5:31
  he's
• 5:31
  actually
• 5:31
  got
• 5:32
  you
• 5:32
  in
• 5:32
  his
• 5:32
  arms.
• 5:32
  It's
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  kind
• 5:33
  of
• 5:33
  God
• 5:33
  we
• 5:33
  serve.
• 5:35
  And
• 5:35
  maybe
• 5:36
  he's
• 5:36
  just
• 5:36
  helping
• 5:36
  us
• 5:37
  build
• 5:37
  that
• 5:37
  gratitude
• 5:38
  before
• 5:38
  he
• 5:38
  gives
• 5:38
  us
• 5:38
  the
• 5:39
  gift.
• 5:40
  Because
• 5:40
  thanking
• 5:41
  God.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:41
  listen,
• 5:42
  this
• 5:42
  is
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  hard
• 5:42
  part,
• 5:43
  Thanking
• 5:44
  God
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  the
• 5:45
  middle
• 5:45
  of
• 5:45
  that
• 5:45
  struggle.
• 5:46
  Thanking
• 5:47
  God
• 5:47
  when
• 5:47
  you're
• 5:47
  like
• 5:48
  God.
• 5:48
  Are
• 5:48
  you
• 5:48
  not
• 5:48
  hearing
• 5:49
  me?
• 5:50
  Start
• 5:50
  by
• 5:51
  thanking
• 5:51
  him
• 5:51
  first,
• 5:53
  because
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  truly
• 5:54
  believe
• 5:54
  that
• 5:54
  opens
• 5:54
  your
• 5:54
  heart
• 5:55
  to
• 5:55
  peace
• 5:55
  while
• 5:55
  you
• 5:55
  wait.
• 5:57
  And
• 5:58
  there's
• 5:58
  such
• 5:58
  unexpected
• 5:59
  provision,
• 6:00
  because
• 6:00
  his
• 6:00
  answer
• 6:01
  is
• 6:01
  going
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  come
• 6:01
  to
• 6:01
  you.
• 6:02
  It
• 6:03
  might
• 6:03
  not
• 6:03
  be
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  answer
• 6:04
  you're
• 6:04
  looking
• 6:04
  for,
• 6:05
  but
• 6:05
  I'm
• 6:05
  going
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  tell
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  this,
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  you
• 6:06
  can
• 6:06
  rest
• 6:06
  assured
• 6:07
  in
• 6:07
  this,
• 6:07
  he
• 6:07
  will
• 6:08
  give
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  strength,
• 6:08
  he
• 6:09
  will
• 6:09
  give
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  clarity,
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  will
• 6:12
  surround
• 6:12
  you
• 6:12
  with
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  people
• 6:12
  that
• 6:13
  you
• 6:13
  need
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  get
• 6:13
  through
• 6:13
  this.
• 6:14
  It's
• 6:14
  not
• 6:14
  about
• 6:14
  money.
• 6:15
  See,
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  shows
• 6:15
  a
• 6:15
  lot
• 6:16
  about
• 6:16
  money,
• 6:18
  but
• 6:18
  sometimes
• 6:18
  his
• 6:18
  answer
• 6:19
  is
• 6:19
  not
• 6:19
  what
• 6:19
  we
• 6:19
  expected.
• 6:21
  Let's
• 6:22
  get
• 6:22
  into
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  Bible
• 6:23
  today.
• 6:23
  Let's
• 6:23
  go
• 6:23
  right
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  the
• 6:24
  Book
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  Psalms,
• 6:24
  chapter
• 6:25
  13,
• 6:25
  verses
• 6:26
  1
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  2.
• 6:26
  It
• 6:26
  says,
• 6:27
  how
• 6:27
  long,
• 6:27
  Lord,
• 6:28
  will
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  forget
• 6:29
  me
• 6:29
  forever?
• 6:30
  How
• 6:30
  long
• 6:31
  will
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  hide
• 6:31
  your
• 6:31
  face
• 6:32
  from
• 6:32
  me?
• 6:33
  How
• 6:33
  long
• 6:33
  must
• 6:33
  I
• 6:34
  wrestle
• 6:34
  with
• 6:34
  my
• 6:34
  thoughts?
• 6:35
  And
• 6:36
  day
• 6:36
  after
• 6:36
  day
• 6:36
  have
• 6:37
  sorrow
• 6:37
  in
• 6:37
  my
• 6:37
  heart?
• 6:38
  And
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  can
• 6:39
  just
• 6:39
  hear
• 6:39
  the
• 6:39
  psalmist
• 6:39
  just
• 6:40
  crying
• 6:40
  out
• 6:41
  for
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  Lord?
• 6:42
  And
• 6:43
  maybe
• 6:43
  right
• 6:43
  now,
• 6:43
  you're
• 6:44
  crying
• 6:44
  out
• 6:44
  for
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  Lord.
• 6:46
  He's
• 6:46
  still
• 6:47
  there.
• 6:47
  Don't
• 6:48
  lose
• 6:48
  sight.
• 6:48
  Let's
• 6:48
  pray
• 6:48
  together.
• 6:50
  Lord,
• 6:50
  this
• 6:51
  is
• 6:51
  a
• 6:51
  heavy
• 6:51
  episode
• 6:52
  today,
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  this
• 6:53
  is
• 6:53
  weighing
• 6:54
  on
• 6:54
  our
• 6:54
  hearts.
• 6:54
  And,
• 6:54
  Lord,
• 6:55
  when
• 6:55
  we
• 6:55
  feel
• 6:55
  abandoned,
• 6:57
  many
• 6:57
  of
• 6:57
  us
• 6:57
  are
• 6:58
  feeling
• 6:58
  abandoned
• 6:58
  right
• 6:59
  now.
• 6:59
  Remind
• 6:59
  me
• 6:59
  that
• 6:59
  you
• 7:00
  are
• 7:00
  carrying
• 7:00
  us,
• 7:00
  Lord.
• 7:02
  You're
• 7:02
  carrying
• 7:02
  me,
• 7:03
  Lord.
• 7:04
  So
• 7:04
  I
• 7:04
  ask
• 7:05
  you
• 7:05
  right
• 7:05
  now
• 7:05
  to
• 7:05
  teach
• 7:05
  me.
• 7:06
  Help
• 7:06
  me
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  trust
• 7:06
  your
• 7:07
  silence
• 7:07
  as
• 7:07
  part
• 7:07
  of
• 7:08
  your
• 7:08
  plan.
• 7:08
  We
• 7:08
  all
• 7:09
  have
• 7:09
  our
• 7:09
  own
• 7:09
  plans.
• 7:10
  We
• 7:10
  have
• 7:10
  our
• 7:11
  ideas
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  what
• 7:11
  we
• 7:11
  want.
• 7:12
  But,
• 7:12
  Lord,
• 7:12
  we
• 7:12
  know
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  your
• 7:13
  plan
• 7:14
  is
• 7:14
  perfect.
• 7:15
  So
• 7:16
  right
• 7:16
  now,
• 7:16
  Lord,
• 7:16
  I
• 7:16
  just
• 7:16
  ask
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  you
• 7:17
  would
• 7:17
  fill
• 7:17
  my
• 7:17
  waiting
• 7:18
  with
• 7:18
  your
• 7:18
  peace
• 7:19
  instead
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  worry.
• 7:22
  Because
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  are
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  great
• 7:23
  architect.
• 7:23
  You
• 7:23
  are
• 7:23
  the
• 7:24
  keeper
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  all
• 7:25

• 8:40
  God's
• 8:41
  silence
• 8:41
  doesn't
• 8:41
  mean
• 8:41
  he's
• 8:42
  gone.
• 8:43
  The
• 8:44
  waiting
• 8:44
  is
• 8:44
  growing
• 8:45
  your

  faith.
• 8:45
  You

  might

  not

  see
• 8:46
  it
• 8:46
  right
• 8:46
  now,
• 8:46
  but
• 8:46
  just
• 8:46
  have
• 8:47
  faith
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  this.
• 8:48
  And
• 8:49
  when
• 8:49
  you
• 8:49
  look
• 8:49
  down
• 8:50
  and
• 8:51
  you
• 8:51
  only
• 8:51
  see
• 8:51
  one
• 8:51
  set
• 8:52
  of
• 8:52
  footprints,
• 8:53
  just
• 8:53
  remember
• 8:54
  this.
• 8:55
  It's
• 8:55
  during
• 8:55
  those
• 8:56
  seasons
• 8:57
  that
• 8:57
  he's

  you.

  He
