Dana Gresh says that sometimes when God seems silent,

he actually may be sending us a really important message.

In all those months, years, I don't know how long it was that Habakkuk was praying.

I just know it was a long time because he said,

how long do I have to cry out to you, Lord?

I think there was a message.

I think God was saying something.

I think he was saying,. I think God was saying something. I think he was saying,

turn to me. Repent. This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walthameth, co-author

of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story. For September 24, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

This past spring, the world was in lockdown because of the coronavirus.

For most of us, we're still not back to normal, whatever that is.

But one survey revealed that 44% of Americans believe the pandemic was a wake-up call

from God. People started reading their Bibles and listening to sermons online, some for the first

time in their lives. There's been a 50% surge in Google searches for the word prayer. People wanted to talk to God in difficult times,

and that's exactly what the book of Habakkuk teaches us to do. This Old Testament book of prophecy

helps us to see that God is good and God is at work all the time. And that's something

we need help remembering on difficult days and in times that seem,

well, even evil in some ways. This year of 2020 sure could qualify. So let's dig into the book

of Habakkuk with my dear friend and co-host, Dana Gresh. We're on our second day of her teaching

series, which we recorded to support

a new Bible study she's written called Habakkuk, remembering God's faithfulness when he seems silent.
