One of the hardest parts of the Christian journey is this: What do you do when Heaven feels quiet?
Youāve prayed. You've Believed. You've fasted, journaled, and pressed in.
And thenā¦Silence.
Not just a quiet roomābut a quiet heart, filled with unanswered questions and growing uncertainty.
And yetāGod is working. Always.
Some of the most powerful moves of God donāt happen in the moment of breakthroughā¦They begin in the waiting.
⨠Where Waiting Becomes Holy Ground
The Bible is filled with seasons of pauseāof preparation:
- šŖ Abraham waited 25 years for Isaac after God promised him a son (Genesis 21).
- š David was anointed king in his youth, yet didnāt take the throne until years later (2 Samuel 5).
- š Hannah waited in tears for her miracle baby, Samuel (1 Samuel 1).
- š Jesus waited in the wildernessātempted, triedābefore launching into ministry.
The wait wasnāt easy. But the wait wasnāt wasted.
It was the crucible where trust was forged and faith grew deep.
But it wasnāt just an answered prayerāit was the fruit of a faith that had been anchored and refined.
š¬ How Do We Wait Well?
In a world obsessed with speed, faith says:
āEven now, I will trust.ā
āEven when I donāt see it, I believe Heās working.ā
āEven when itās silent, He is still speaking.ā
šļø Scripture to Hold in the Silence
- āBut those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strengthā¦ā ā Isaiah 40:31
- āThe Lord is good to those who wait for Himā¦ā ā Lamentations 3:25
- āIt is good that one should hope and wait quietlyā¦ā ā Lamentations 3:26
- āRest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.ā ā Psalm 37:7
- āLet us not grow weary while doing good, for in due seasonā¦ā ā Galatians 6:9
š Advanced Faith: Praising Before the Win
Faith isn't just believing after you see. It's worshiping before the answer.
š Spend time in worship this weekānot just declaring who God is, but thanking Him in advance.
Open your heart in song. Soak in Scripture. Speak truth over yourself and others.
Because the wait may be longābut He is worth it.
