Description
We name the prayer many of us are afraid to say out loud: “Lord, where are you?” We walk from Habakkuk’s protest to Jesus’ mustard seed promise and Saint Dominic’s example of preaching with holiness, truth, and steady trust.
• Habakkuk’s honest complaint about evil flourishing
• God’s response about waiting for the vision
• Faith as trust when little makes sense
• Jesus diagnosing “little faith” rather than lack of talent
• Mustard seed faith as authentic confidence in God’s power
• Saint Dominic’s answer to widespread confusion and drifting belief
• Conversion through lived holiness more than winning arguments
• The Dominicans and preaching with clarity, charity, and depth
• Ignorance as a spiritual vulnerability and study as a remedy
• Two closing questions on trust and sharing the faith
