Faith and doubts

God's silence

Feeling that God does not answer, even though we have sought God sincerely.

What the Bible can tell you

For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

Psalms 22:1

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Psalms 13:1

Most certainly you are a God who has hidden yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'"

Isaiah 45:15

A human reading

Many psalms express exactly that silence, and still they keep speaking to God. Silence is not always absence; sometimes it is room to grow. You can say what you feel with complete honesty.

This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
