When God is Silent

There are times that we can often feel that God is silent. We pray but don't feel that He's listening. We may even feel that He's left us and that can create fear and anxiety in wondering what we did wrong.

It's during these times that we can feel completely isolated in other areas of our lives too and it's during these times of isolation that we can have a hard time seeing Gods hands at work in our lives. But if we will keep pressing on by pressing into Jesus through prayer and through the reading of His Word, we gain the strength through His promises and this is what's needed to keep hoping. As we hope, we grow in our faith in Him. As we grow in our faith, we begin to praise Him for things seen as well as for things not yet seen. As a response to growing in our faith, our level of trust in Jesus deepens and that brings about a reaction of belief. Through our belief, ALL things are made possible. Through our belief we gain peace in knowing that even while we can't see Him at work in our lives, we can trust that He is working all things for our good and in His perfect timing.

When we stay steadfast in our belief, we will eventually see the result of our hope that led us to faith which then resulting in trust and an unwavering belief that God is and was at work in our lives throughout every step of our journey. He was always going before us to prepare the way. 

So don't give up before your breakthrough. Don't get discouraged but rather trust that God is for you, not against you. He may be silent but keep believing that He is making a way for you because He loves you and wants the best for you.

There's a song that recently came out called Even In the Silence. The lyrics go on to say.. Jesus you're working and I believe it still, so let your promise be fulfilled. 

When God is working, He works on our behalf to fulfill His promises to us. One of those promises we can cling to through the isolation and times of silence is that He will never leave us for He is with us..Always.
