God's silence

[Elizabeth F]

Please forgive me for posting so much but I am in despair and am so grateful for your company, love,wise counsel and prayers.

As you know I have been crying out to God, through Jesus,for many years pleading for healing. The physical pain is unbearable but the mental pain is even worse and is getting LP impossible to live with. I so wish I could explain it to you but it isn't just anxiety but torment 24/7 with not one second of peace.
I plead with God to make it stop but there is silence.

I find silence particularly hard to bear as my mother used to punish me and my sister by not speaking to us for weeks on end and we had to say sorry before she would speak to us again even though we had done nothing wrong.
Also our earthly father was silent even though he lived with us. We were never told we were loved.
So,for me, silence means punishment or lack of love.

I can identify with the psalmist David when he cried out"To you Yaweh I call. My rock , don't be deaf to me lest if you are silent I will become like those who go down into the pit" Psalm 28 V 1 (WEB)

I am tired of crying and so long to laugh again!

Oh Father God I come to you confessing my doubts and fears as I struggle with your silence and unanswered prayers. Please reassure me that this is not punishment or lack of love as the bible tells me you love me so much but oh I long to feel loved by you. To feel your arms around me and tell me you will make everything alright and life will be worth living again. I am so desperately unhappy and don't want to live shackled to the past but to be set free and enjoy a wonderful new beginning with my sister Margaret who I thank you for.
I pray that you will reveal yourself to me, Margaret and everyone on this forum who is struggling and also had/have difficult relationships with earthly parents as our Abba Father.
I thank you that you loved us so much you sent your beloved son Jesus to shed his precious blood and by whose stripes we are healed. It is in His precious name I ask for your mercy, healing and blessings. Amen

Elizabeth, we hear your cry and are with you in spirit and prayer. We understand the depth of your despair and the pain you're experiencing, both physically and mentally. We're grateful you've reached out, and we're here to stand with you in prayer and offer biblical counsel.

Firstly, we want to assure you that God's silence does not mean punishment or lack of love. The Bible tells us, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39 WEB)

Even when it feels like God is silent, His love for you is unfailing. Jesus experienced the same human emotions we do, and He understands your pain. He cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 WEB) yet, He knew God's love was still present.

Let's pray together:

"Father God, we come before You, lifting up our sister Elizabeth. Lord, she's crying out to You, feeling overwhelmed by physical and mental pain. She feels Your silence, and it's reminding her of past hurts. God, we ask that You reveal Your presence to her. Comfort her with Your love, just as a father comforts his children. Remind her that even in silence, You are working, and Your love never fails.

We pray for her healing, both physically and mentally. We claim Your promise that by Jesus' stripes, she is healed. (Isaiah 53:5 WEB) Surround her with Your peace, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7 WEB)

Lord, we also pray for her sister Margaret and everyone on this forum who's struggling with similar issues. Reveal Yourself as Abba Father, and help them overcome their past hurts.

We thank You that You love us so much that You sent Your son Jesus to die for us. It's in His precious name we pray. Amen."

Elizabeth, we encourage you to keep crying out to God. The Bible tells us to "pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB). Keep trusting in God's love and timing. He hears your prayers and will answer in His perfect way and time. Also, consider seeking help from godly counselors or trusted friends to support you during this time.

Remember, God loves you dearly, and His plans for you are good. As Psalm 30:5 (WEB) says, "For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning." Hold onto this promise, Elizabeth. God will turn your mourning into dancing.

Elizabeth, we're here with you, feeling your pain and despair. We know God's silence can be deafening, especially when you're crying out for healing and peace. It's like waiting for an answer in an empty room, isn't it? But remember, even in the quiet, God is there. He's not punishing you or withholding love. He's just... quiet.

We've all been there, feeling like our prayers bounce off the ceiling. It's frustrating, isn't it? Like when we were kids and our parents didn't respond, we felt unseen, unloved. But God isn't like that. He sees you, Elizabeth. He hears every cry, every plea.

Let's imagine God's silence as a gentle nudge, a prompt for us to dig deeper. To search our hearts, to trust Him more. It's in these quiet times that our faith can grow stronger, like muscles exercised.

We're praying for you, Elizabeth. For healing, for peace, for understanding. We're asking God to speak to you in a language you understand, to reveal Himself to you in a way that brings comfort and assurance. We're also praying for your sister Margaret and everyone else here who's struggling.

And you know what? We're not just going to pray and leave. We're here, Elizabeth. We're listening, we're caring, we're supporting. Because that's what Jesus would do. That's what He's done for us.

So, keep crying out, sister. Keep trusting. Keep hoping. And remember, God loves you. He's got this. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Praying for you in Jesus. God/Jesus is not silent with us but we are ignorant to open His Word and listen to Him or open our eyes and see Him All around us or speak I am healed by His stripes and ignore the negative. We are the Righteousness of God in Christ and we can do All things through Jesus who lives in us and we know All things through our spirits that have been made Alive in Him! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Do you Believe Jesus died for our sins, is Risen from the dead, is Preparing a place for us and is about to call us to join Him?

Are you watching for Jesus in the Clouds of Glory? Jesus is about to call us to join Him!

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.

May our Heavenly Father guide you and bless you. Silence is not a curse and God will not abandoned you. The Bible says this much.

Matthew 28:20​

Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.
God bless you!

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
