When I pray seeking an answer,
But silence is all that’s provided.
Could it be the answer was given,
But I’ve rebelliously denied it?
How many times have I railed
Against things I don’t understand?
My role wasn’t to have the answer,
But simply trust it’s God’s plan.
For the Lord sees things I cannot,
And knows things I do not know.
This forces me to make a choice
Is God Almighty my friend or foe?
What lies beneath this daily fight
Is He someone who I can believe?
Is His character ever trustworthy?
Faith demands this for I can’t see.
What is available is past events.
Do His actions warrant my trust?
Let’s start with human creation
The miracle of life out of dust.
Countless prophecies given -
The majority being fulfilled.
The greatest was His only Son.
To save me He must be killed.
He rose again, as He promised.
Proving He’s faithful and true.
The prophecies left unfulfilled
Why won’t He fulfill them too?
So, when I pray for answers,
And silence is all that I hear.
If I see His past faithfulness,
The silence is actually fear.
When answers aren’t apparent
They’re likely already there.
It’s on the other side of faith
Providing the answer, “where?”
