What To Do When God Is Silent

Send a text message to the show!

Have you ever prayed and God was silent? Me too! Be encouraged, I have some comforting news! We are not alone! Everyone has been through seasons of silence or will eventually. 

The great Psalmist David, known for his worship, experienced seasons of silence.  He records some of his frustration in the following psalms:

Psalms 22:1-2 (ESV)
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.

Psalms 35:22
22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me

David was not the only biblical hero that endured a season of silence.  Job and Zacharias did as well.  In this episode we’ll look at how these three men handled their “seasons of silence”. 

When God is silent, we must guard against assumptions and challenging questions:

Did I do something wrong? 
Does God still hear me? 
Did God leave me? 
Does God still love me? 

Why would God be silent?

That’s a great question. There are many reasons. In this episode we’ll explore several of them. 

It’s important to remember: The silence of God does not mean the absence of God.

God has not forsaken you. He still hears your prayers. I hope this episode helps you finds ways to stay strong, even when God is silent.
