Shifting Your Gaze | Psalm 10 | Brent Van Sickle | Psalms: The Songbook of Jesus

When life feels like God has gone silent—when headlines horrify, diagnoses devastate, or injustice seems to win—where do you turn? Pastor Brent walks through Psalm 10, where David voices the raw, desperate cry: *"Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?"* Rather than pretending everything is fine, David brings his unfiltered pain straight to God—and that honest prayer becomes the turning point. Like a concussed player finally looking up from the ground, David shifts his gaze from overwhelming circumstances to the unshakeable character of God. Don't miss this powerful, hope-filled message—watch or listen now!

Psalm 10

Why Do You Hide Yourself?

10 Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?

Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

2  In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;

let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.

3  For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul,

and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.

4  In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him;

all his thoughts are, "There is no God."
