“When God is Silent” confirms through scripture that God indeed hears the cries of his elect and the broken hearted. The book explains to the reader why he or she may be waiting on the answers to their prayers and how to endure in a season of silence. It also reveals how to recognize “God’s answer” if he chooses to answer differently than what we anticipate. The take home message is “ Never Give up! Even if God is not talking he’s still listening”. We must learn to “push, pray, and persist” until we reach the point of breakthrough. God desires to give only the best to his children. We must understand this.
Excerpt Two:
Chapter 12
Alternate Ending
I believe that God’s gifts and blessings are
abundantly laid before us. Most of the time, it’s
up to us to find our way to them. God has done
His part and it’s up to us to complete the task.
—Arina Nikitina
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from
ancient times the things that are not yet done,
saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my
pleasure.
—Isaiah 46:10
Have you ever walked away from a movie wishing
for an alternate ending? You watched in anticipation
with popcorn in hand. Then all of a sudden the script takes
an unexpected turn. You find yourself thinking, “This can’t
be the end! They could’ve done better than that!” Perhaps
the movie you watched was a sequel to your favorite
movie. Your expectations were set high. You rushed out
and bought tickets early. You waited in line out in the cold
for hours without one murmur or complaint. Yet you left
the theater unfulfilled. Thank God that this only happens
in movies, right? Well, maybe.
Ponder this question for a moment. What happens when
the script of your life takes an unexpected turn? You know,
when life throws you a curve ball? Perhaps you had it all
planned out. You would marry the perfect person, raise
the perfect family, live in the perfect home, enjoy perfect
health, and enjoy the best job on earth. But then something
happened. You didn’t see it coming. Everything was
going just fine, and then all of a sudden without warning
the bottom fell out. All of your hopes and dreams traveled
south and you found your life in a mess.
Perhaps that once so perfect marriage turned into hell
on earth right before your eyes and you were faced with the
embarrassment of divorce. What happens when the once
so perfect job is now stressing you out beyond belief? What
do you do when your perfect child becomes not so perfect?
What happens when even those in your inner circle are
secretly planning your demise? Do you fold? Think about
it. What happens when you’d rather censor your personal
testimony than let others know about all of the hell that
you are actually going through? What do you do when
you’re doing everything you can to hold things together
and without sympathy the world keeps pounding on you.
Your heart is aching with disappointment; so many “what
ifs.” Had I only done this or done that. You feel defeated.
Yet those who want to see you fail are viscously leaning
over you trying to check a pulse. Do you accept it or do
you rise up out of your ashes so that God will get the glory
out of your story? Well, let me encourage you to rise up!
Thank you for the post. The subject matter is of great interest to people today who are wondering why God isn’t hearing them. He is always still right here with us. 🙂
