Why Does God Feel So Silent Right Now?

Have you ever prayed and felt like heaven was completely silent? I know I have. In this episode, I open up about a time when I felt forgotten by God while waiting for a financial breakthrough. Through the poem “Footprints in the Sand” and a deeply personal story about my own marriage’s breakdown and restoration, I remind myself, and you, that God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence, and His delays are never His denials.

I close with a heartfelt prayer, asking God to help us trust his plan even when we can’t see the way forward. I also introduce The Financially Confident Christian, a new community created to help you grow in both faith and financial confidence.

Last week, in Episode 330, “Why Am I Dreading December Already?”, I talked about how peace isn’t something that just happens; it’s a choice we make, even when life feels uncertain. Building on that truth, today’s message encourages both you and me to keep believing, even when we can’t hear God’s voice.
