When silence is a answer

Have you noticed that there are times when you fast and pray, waiting for a word from the Lord, and by the end of the fast you seem to hear nothing? Have you noticed that sometimes you ask questions and God does not answer the way you expect?

In those moments, the Lord is teaching us to trust Him and seek Him more deeply—waiting earnestly for the word He will speak.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6

You see, the Lord relates to us through our experiences and seasons. He steps into our spaces and answers us in ways we do not always expect.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. — Isaiah 55:8

Most times, the answer is in the silence. It is in the stillness. It is in holding on and seeing the salvation of the Lord.

Many answers are silent, yet loud—you can sense strongly that God has spoken, even without words. And even then, you are called to trust His sovereignty.

You may feel as though you did not hear Him, but the power generated in those moments at your altar is aligning things for your season.

God is searching for a man like Joseph—one who will trust the dreams and visions he has been given and run with them.

God’s silence is not absence. God’s silence is an answer—it just may not align with the way you thought it would come.

Stay revived!
