In his sermon on Psalm 77, Pastor Daniel introduces Lent as a season of repentance—literally a time to “turn around” when we realize we may be going the wrong way. Focusing on this psalm of lament, he explains that Scripture gives us permission to cry out honestly to God in seasons of discouragement, doubt, and spiritual darkness. Like Asaph—and like biblical figures such as Job, Moses, Elijah, Jonah, and Jeremiah—we may experience moments when what we know about God does not match what we currently feel. Pastor Daniel emphasizes that lament is not a lack of faith but an expression of trust. The turning point in Psalm 77 comes when Asaph intentionally chooses to remember: to call to mind God’s past deeds, meditate on His faithfulness, and rehearse His mighty works. This intentional practice, Pastor Daniel shares through his own story of using a breath prayer during a difficult season, becomes a “fight for faith.” Even when God’s “footprints are unseen,” as in the psalm and ultimately at the cross, God is still at work. The message encourages believers during Lent to practice repentance, remembrance, and trust—confident that the same faithful God of the past remains present and active today.
