DON’T SWAY THE DELAY
When God Seems Silent
Have you ever felt like God hit the mute button on your prayers? Like you’re crying out, yet heaven seems silent? Like you’re waiting for that breakthrough, that answer, that change, but nothing’s happening?
John Ortberg said it perfectly: “Biblically, waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be.”
God uses delays to build our faith, test our hearts, and prepare us for what’s coming. He’s not punishing you. He’s preparing you. Don’t let temporary silence lead to permanent mistakes.
So when God seems silent, remember, He's not on mute, He's on mission.
Pray
Lord, when You seem silent, help me remember You’re still working. Give me courage to wait well and not return to old patterns. Strengthen my heart as I trust Your timing. Amen
“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.”
Psalms 27:14 NL
