Silence & Shield

In Psalm 28 the poet experienced God's silence and asked His answering prayers.

The Lord he experienced as his Strength,Shield and Fortress.

How many times when we asked the Lord but without getting a definite answer ?
How many times we want to know more but in vain ?
How many disappointments we go through in waiting ?

An ECF pastor's plead for his wife healing for her cancer just reflects such kind of anguish and deep pain!

He's not facing any concrete enemy or bad people to ask for the Lord's help.He's struggling against the Evil One and thought that all is because of Evil forces behind the scene that matters.
I'm not sure of the theodicy puzzle all the time.Like Job in his pain because of Satan's attack,is it that all our pains are because of Satan's cause ?

I just ask the Lord to be our Shield and our Rock in times of trouble.

All praises are due Him though we know not all things most of the time.
