Please note: The Scripture passage will be read before the sermon.
''A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
1 O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; 2 many are saying of my soul, ''There is no salvation for him in God.'' Selah 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. 4 I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah 5 I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around. 7 Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked. 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord; your blessing be on your people! Selah'' (Psalm 3:1-8)

- ''God, are you punishing me for something?''
- ''I guess You didn't want me to go to that meeting.''
- ''It was cool how You had this happen before I was inside the school.''
-''Why didn't you protect me?''
