When Heaven is Silent
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope." — Psalm 130:5
There is a difference between a "No" and a "Not yet." When you’ve prayed until you’re exhausted and nothing seems to change, it’s easy to feel forgotten or ignored. But silence isn't absence. Sometimes the Master Builder is working on the foundation in ways you can't see yet. He might be preparing the situation, or He might be preparing you for the answer. Faith isn't just believing God can do it; it’s trusting Him when He hasn't done it yet. Even when the "readout" doesn't show progress, the work is still in His hands.
Today, instead of asking God for the "answer" again, try a prayer of trust: "Lord, I don't see the change yet, but I trust Your timing over my own." Choose one thing you’ve been worrying about and "leave it on the workbench" for the rest of the day.
