There’s nothing more difficult than praying with all your heart… and hearing nothing in return.
We’ve all been there — asking, fasting, crying, declaring, but heaven seems quiet. The silence can feel like rejection. The delay can feel like denial. But family, I want to remind you today: God’s silence is not His absence.
The Waiting Room Is Not a Waste Room
Sometimes, God places us in what I call “The Spiritual Waiting Room.” It’s uncomfortable. It’s quiet. You don’t know what’s next, but you know you’re not where you used to be. That’s where faith is tested, not by what you hear, but by what you choose to believe even when you hear nothing.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.”
— Lamentations 3:25 (ESV)
In the silence, God is still working. He’s shaping your heart, maturing your spirit, and preparing the answer you’re not ready to receive just yet.
“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
— Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)
What To Do While You Wait
- Worship Anyway
Praise God not for what He’s done — but for who He is. Worship confuses the enemy and aligns your heart with heaven.“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way.”
— Psalm 37:7 (ESV) - Stay in the Word
Silence from God never means separation from Him. Go back to what He’s already said in Scripture. His Word is never silent.“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
— Psalm 119:105 (ESV) - Check Your Heart, Not His Character
Don’t let the delay make you question God’s goodness. Ask: What is He teaching me in this moment?“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!”
— Psalm 139:23 (ESV) - Encourage Others
Sometimes God speaks through us even when we feel dry. Don’t underestimate the healing power of pouring into someone else.“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV)
A Word for the Woman Who’s Tired
Sis, I know you’re weary. I know you’re wondering if your prayers are just echoing off the ceiling. But let me tell you something I’ve lived:
The silence is sacred.
God is closer than you think.
Your “not yet” is still a “yes” in progress.
He hasn’t forgotten you. He hasn’t changed His mind. Keep holding on.
“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.”
— Psalm 130:5 (ESV)
Let’s Pray Together
Father, teach me to trust You in the silence. Help me to stand firm, to stay faithful, and to worship even when I don’t understand. Strengthen every woman reading this who feels like giving up. Remind her that You are never late — You are always God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
