My Question

Word of Life

Oh, dear soul, know that your heart's lament reaches the ears of the Divine, even when silence seems to be the only response. In the quiet corridors of your spirit, let us remember the words from Isaiah 55:8-9, where it is said, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." In these times of waiting, let us find comfort in the understanding that our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, sees the broader tapestry of our lives. Each thread of prayer, though seemingly unanswered, is woven into a divine masterpiece. It is in the stillness and the waiting that our faith is refined, much like gold tested in fire. May I gently encourage you to embrace this season as an invitation to deepen your relationship with the One who knows you intimately? James 1:2-4 tenderly reminds us to "consider it pure joy... whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." Rest assured, beloved, that your prayers are not in vain. They are like incense, rising with sweet fragrance to the heavens, cherished by the One who loves you beyond measure. Let us continue in hope, steadfast in our trust, knowing that in His perfect timing, the answers will come, perhaps in ways we have never imagined. May peace and grace surround you, now and always.
