There was a time Sarah thought God had gone quiet.
No open doors, no answered prayers, just silence.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months of waiting,
and she began to wonder if her name had somehow been erased from Heaven’s list.
She did everything right
She prayed, fasted, showed up
but nothing seemed to move.
Every time she scrolled through social media,
someone else had a testimony,
someone else was sharing “God did it,”
and she whispered softly, “What about me, Lord?”
But here’s what she didn’t see,
even in that silence, God was working.
Not in the way she expected, but in the way she needed.
Sometimes, the most powerful seasons in your life
are the ones where it seems nothing is happening.
Because in silence, roots are growing.
Character is forming.
Faith is being stretched.
And Heaven is preparing a stage that eyes haven’t seen yet.
You may not see movement,
but the foundation is being laid beneath the surface.
God’s silence is not His absence, it’s His strategy.
Sarah didn’t know it then,
but every tear she cried watered her future.
Every “not yet” was building her testimony.
And when her season finally came,
it came like a flood, overflowing and undeniable.
So if you’re reading this,
and your life feels like a waiting room,
please hear this, your silent seasons still count.
You’re not being ignored,
you’re being refined.
You’re not forgotten,
you’re being prepared.
You’re not stuck,
you’re being rooted.
And when the time comes,
what God brings will not just be an answer,
it will be a story that heals others.
Keep believing,
keep becoming,
because even silence speaks purpose.
