When God seems silent

 

 WHEN GOD SEEMS SILENT

 

Most of us during this pandemic we found ourselves in a situation where we no longer give God the time he needs from us, not just because we wanted but because we were forced by the circumstances we find our self in like being forced by government laws to stay in home. Which resulted I most of us not going to our places of worship as we used to. At first it was fine we went home hoping that we will attend church in our homes with our computers and our phones such as in facebook, Instagram and youtube live and also the new zoom feature. Yes it is possible but the thing is it is not the same as you used to worship at church. Most of us cannot attend church in our homes because we are distracted by social media. when God seems distant we often think that he is he has forgotten about us but the truth is is he loves us and he will never fail us.

During this times of pandemic we think that God is not looking at us. We think that he is not caring about our being he is letting a lot of people die. We think that he has no power to overcome this situation. Some of us no longer believe in him because we think he has abandoned us. We are all going through a time of difficult because the virus affected all of us. Yes it is true that a lot of people are dying because of this pandemic but why are we blaming God for it. God is always watching over us. Those who really knows him already knows that he is controlling their lives. You may go through hard times but remember that it is God who is letting you to go through those hard times in order for you to see victory.

Our plans for this year were distracted by the virus. Some of us were planning on organizing parties, weddings, graduation ceremonies etc. everything that we planned did not go as we planned, some of our plans had to be cancelled. We keep on asking ourselves that where is God at this times, Does he aware of what is happening to us. I just want tell you that keep on believing that good days are coming and God is there with you until you walk through this setbacks. He is there always watching you even though you feel like giving up.

No matter what we are going through he is always there for us even though it seems like he is not on our midst. He is preparing you for a greater mission. You are not going through those hard times alone he is there with you. He never said you are never going through those hard times. He never said it is going to be easy. He needs you to understand that it was never your battle. He is preparing you to be great and he needs you to trust him. He is busy whispering on your ears saying get up my child just hold on and trust me. I give you another chance.

What to do when God seems silent

•       When we are seeking God about a certain issue. God hear us but does not always tee us what the answer is. He just lets it unfold.
•       We want god to hear all that is on our hearts do not take time to listen to God’s heart. Be still and quite before God and be attentive to him.
•       When we sin it separate us from god, sin breaks fellowship. Let nothing between your soul and savior. Repent and humble yourself
•    When god steps back so that we will come after him, often like a father who is teaching his son to walk. He steps back that we may learn to walk.
•      Pray and always pray. Cultivate a regular and consistent prayer life
•       Read the bible or read your favorite Christian book. Make sure you read it each an everyday.
•       Seek very wise counsel and get Christian advice. Reach out and be open to seeking God’s influence in our lives.

Last message to always hoping on God

Man plans his ways but God directs his path. Believe that God is directing your path. Speak out your trust in him although you don’t see much activity. Faith is the unseen world.

Sometimes he is silent because he wants us to grow. Many times we ask ‘’why’’ we should be asking ‘’ what’’ for example instead of ‘’why is this happening?’’ ask ‘’what can I learn from this?’’ that question makes a world of difference.

Sometimes we are looking for big revelations and miss the still small voice or details in our everyday lives that he is speaking and showing to us.
