God may be present in ways you don’t recognize – It might not be a voice or miracle. But maybe:
A friend who checks on you out of nowhere.
A lyric that hits different.
A moment of peace that shows up for no reason.
Tiny things that don’t seem like much — but maybe that’s God, still showing up quietly in the cracks.
What feels like silence to you might be God’s way of orchestrating events or preparing you for something greater. Have FAITH!
Pain can block your ability to feel God, even if He’s near
Think of it like being in a storm. The thunder’s so loud, the rain’s so heavy, you can’t hear anything else — but that doesn’t mean the sun disappeared. It’s just hidden behind the chaos.
Your hurt can make it feel like God’s gone. But sometimes, your feelings aren’t the full truth. You can feel completely abandoned and still be held.
God is Silent because the present situation is his will
God may not stop every storm, but He walks with us through them
Do you only call out or seek him when something is wrong? Maybe he is silent because YOU are silent and not seeking him.
