WHY RE SILENT WHEN I NEED YOU?
“God, Why Are You Silent When I Need You?”
Conversation :
Me:
God… are You there?
I know You are, but I can’t feel You.
I pray, I search, I cry… and nothing.
Your silence hurts more than anything.
Why are You silent when I need You the most?
God:
My child… I have never left you.
My silence is not absence it’s the space where I teach your heart to hear Me more deeply than ever before.
You often look for Me in the noise of the world in signs, quick answers, and visible miracles.
But I speak in silence.
When you think I’m gone, I’m whispering things the world cannot say.
Me:
But Lord, it feels like my prayers vanish into nothing.
I asked for healing, for direction, for You…
and nothing happened.
Did You forget about me?
God:
I know how much waiting hurts.
But know this: nothing you give Me is ever lost.
Every tear, every word, every sigh I hold them all.
What you see as silence, I use as a time of preparation.
If I gave you everything you asked for immediately, your heart might cling to the gift, not to the Giver.
So I wait , to teach you to love Me more than the answer.
Testimony: When God Didn’t Answer - and Still Did
I remember a time when I thought my faith was broken.
My prayers piled up, but there was no response.
People told me, “Just believe , God has a plan.”
But what if that plan hurts? What if I don’t understand it?
One night, exhausted from asking, I whispered:
“God, if You can still hear me… I don’t ask for anything, just be here.”
And in that silence , something shifted.
I didn’t hear a voice, but I felt peace.
Not the kind that erases pain, but the kind that stays with you in it.
And I realized: God hadn’t been silent , I had just expected Him to speak my way.
Since then, I’ve learned to pray differently.
Not: “Lord, give me what I want.”
But: “Lord, be in what is.”
And in the ordinary days, small things, unseen miracles , I began to hear His voice again.
Me:
God, why is there so much pain in this world?
Why do You allow hearts to break, plans to fall apart, people we love to leave too soon?
God:
Because you live in a world that wounds ,but also heals.
I don’t create pain, but I use it to shape love within you.
To teach you compassion.
How could you comfort others if you’ve never cried yourself?
How could you cherish the light if you’ve never walked through darkness?
You don’t understand now, but every wound becomes a doorway through which My light enters.
When you let Me into your pain, it no longer controls you -I do.
Me:
But sometimes I feel too broken.
Like I’ve gone too far.
Like I can’t come back anymore.
God:
Oh, My child…
Who told you that?
I am the God of returns.
The One who waits at the door, runs to meet the lost, who doesn’t ask where you’ve been - but are you ready to come home.
There is no darkness My light can’t reach, no sin My love can’t erase.
God’s Silence Is an Invitation, Not Absence
Me:
So… Your silence isn’t punishment?
God:
Never.
Silence is My invitation for you to come closer.
To seek not just My gifts, but My face.
To learn to walk by faith, not by feelings.
Sometimes I stay quiet because your fear interrupts Me.
While you say, “Lord, I can’t go on,”
I whisper, “You can , because I’m with you.”
But you can’t hear Me, because the voices of the world are louder.
So I give you silence - so you can finally hear Me, not them.
Testimony: When God Spoke Through Silence
A few years ago, I lost someone I loved more than life itself.
I prayed for a miracle, but it didn’t come at least not in the way I imagined.
For months I asked,
“God, where were You? Why didn’t You stop this?”
Years later, when I could finally look back without tears, I saw it
God was never absent.
He was there in every friend who hugged me.
In every morning I somehow woke up again.
In every breath, in every ounce of strength that kept me standing.
Now I know: His answers aren’t always “yes.”
Sometimes they’re “not yet.”
Sometimes they’re “I have something better.”
And sometimes they’re simply,
“I am with you.”
Me:
God, what should I do when I can’t hear Your voice again?
God:
Don’t look for signs -look for Me.
Don’t chase certainty - seek faith.
And when all feels dark, remember:
Light never leaves. It only waits for you to open your eyes.
Know this -I’m not a distant God.
I am the God who walks beside you.
When you cry, I am your tear.
When you’re silent, I am your peace.
When you don’t know the way, I am your path.
And when you ask:
“God, why are You silent when I need You?”
I answer:
“I am silent so that you may hear Me -not with your ears, but with your heart.
Because I’m not far away.
I’m right here.”
