Thursday Prayer: In the Silence

God, I feel like you're not listening. I've been praying about this for so long, and your silence is deafening. I don't know if you're ignoring me, testing me, or waiting for something I don't understand. The silence makes me doubt whether you hear, whether you care, whether I matter to you.

But I'm choosing to believe your character over my circumstances. You haven't changed just because you're silent. You're still good even though life isn't. You're still present even though you feel absent. You're still working even though I can't see it. Help me trust you in the silence.

I don't need to understand your timing to trust your heart. I don't need answers to rest in your sovereignty. I don't need to hear your voice to know your character. You are faithful. You are loving. You are good. Even in this silence, even in this waiting, even in this unanswered season - you are God, and I am yours. That has to be enough.
