The Context

• Written during a violent, insecure time for Judah as the nation declined morally. 
• Probably written after King Josiah’s death in 609 BC when Josiah’s wicked sons took the throne.

Questioning God's Inaction - How Long?

We are not alone in wondering how long until God will answer us.

• Psalm 13:1-2
• Revelation 6:9-10
• Zechariah 1:12

Conclusions

1) It is okay to not have all the answers.

2) It is okay to pray honestly.

3) Pray honestly to build trust in God.

• We must not trust ourselves or man (Proverbs 3:5-8; Psalm 118:8, 146:3).
• We should pour out our hearts to God (Psalm 62:7-8; Philippians 4:6-7).
