When God seems silent

There are many times in our lives when it seems like God is not answering us...like He is silent. Sometimes it can be days, months, or even years before we hear what God's answer is. These can be really difficult times. Often we want to say, "God, why aren't you answering me?"

We have had many moments like this. We are going through one of these moments now. It sure is hard to be patient and wait. Sometimes we see little pieces of the puzzle...not the whole picture...just little bits. Other times, we cannot see anything at all.

What do we do during these times of waiting on God?

1. Seek God through prayer
2. Read the Bible...God's Word
3. Examine your life
4. Seek godly counsel
5. Wait until you hear God speak to you...wait until He opens the door
6. When He opens the door, walk right through

Psalm 27:14 - Wait for the Lord;

    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.
