In Your Silence

While You’re silent

I wait

I wait for Your voice

I wait for Your instruction

I wait for Your ways

I wait

While You’re silent

I became impatient

I strived

I complained

I struggled

I continued to ask

Why

When

How

But In silence, You remained

You loved

You provided

You cared

While I continue

to persevere

to hope

to ask again

How long?

Am I doing this right?

Does this please You?

Are You still there?

And in silence

You calmed

You secured

You brought out the things hidden in the innermost being of my heart

And there, amidst Your silence

I saw Your eyes staring right into me

I am tested

I am renewed

I am secured

I trust

Beyond mere words

Signs

Affirmations

Beyond what I see

Feel

and understand

What is important

Now unraveled

And found

In Your silence
