“Today is the day the Lord has made and we will rejoice in it.”
This sermon is for those going ⏩ through a season when God feels distant. Maybe you’ve prayed, begged, cried… and nothing happened. You’re not alone. Even Job, David, and Jesus went through moments of silence. 🤫 But silence from God is never absence. It’s preparation because when God seems silent…
God’s Silence Is Not His Absence | When God Seems Silent
In Isaiah 55:8-9 (NLT), the Lord reminds us:
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
Just because you don’t hear Him doesn’t mean He isn’t working. 🥳
Seeds Grow in Silence | When God Seems Silent
Like a seed under the ground, something is growing beneath the surface. You just can’t see it yet. When God doesn’t answer right away, it’s not punishment. It’s growth. 🤑
We live in a world of fast results—scrolling, refreshing, instant notifications. But God’s kingdom operates with delayed gratification. He’s growing something deeper in you.
When You Don’t Get the Answer You Want | When God Seems Silent
Are you still going to trust God if He doesn’t give you what you asked for?
Sometimes He’s silent because:
- He already gave you the answer, but you’re not listening.
- He wants to test your faith.
- He’s preparing you for a greater blessing.
- You need to mature spiritually first. ✌️
We Are Created, Not the Creator | When God Seems Silent
God is sovereign. That means He doesn’t have to answer to us—He does whatever He wants 😂, whenever He wants, and however He wants. We are the creation. He is the Creator. He doesn’t owe us an explanation. 🤩
Job Knew the Silence, Too
Job 23:8-10 (NLT) says:
“I go east, but he is not there.
I go west, but I cannot find him.
I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden.
I look to the south, but he is concealed.
But he knows where I am going.
And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.”
Even Job—the most righteous man—couldn’t hear God at times. But he stayed faithful.
God Doesn’t Play Favorites So When God Seems Silent
Your education, job title, or gifts 🎁 don’t guarantee answers from God. Obedience and trust do. God is looking at your heart and your discipline.
David Felt Abandoned, Too
Psalm 22:1-2 (NLT):
“My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer.
Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.”
Even David—“a man after God’s own heart”—struggled to hear from God at times.
And Jesus 🙏 Himself quoted this Psalm on the cross. Silence doesn’t mean rejection ✅. It means something greater is coming.
What Should You Do During God’s Silence?
Here are 6 things to help you stay strong in the quiet seasons:
- Keep praying – even if it feels pointless.
- Stay disciplined – follow God’s last instruction even if there’s no new one.
- Read the Bible daily – because faith comes by hearing.
- Acknowledge God in all your ways – He will direct your path. 🤘
- Serve others – even while you wait.
- Be honest with God – tell Him how you feel. He can handle it. ✈️
God Is Still Watching
You may feel like a lost child in a crowd 🔥—but God, your heavenly Father, hasn’t taken His eyes off you. He is waiting quietly like a teacher during a test. The silence is not abandonment. It’s a test of your faith and preparation for your purpose.
Silence Builds Strength
Like boxers who train without a coach present, you must develop spiritual discipline. You won’t always have signs, wonders, or confirmations. But maturity means pressing forward anyway. 👁️
Christianity Is a Lifestyle
Church once a week 🗓️ is not enough. This is a daily walk. The Bible says we must “work out our salvation with fear and trembling.” Waiting doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means being faithful with what you already know.
God Will Reward You
Your obedience will not go unnoticed. 👀
“God rewards those who diligently seek Him.” – Hebrews 11:6
Final Encouragement
If God seems silent, remember:
- You are not alone.
- He is always working behind the scenes.
- He hasn’t left you.
- This season is temporary.
The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy 🚮, but Jesus came so that you may have life and have it more abundantly.
