Silence as a Space for Growth

Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.
Don’t worry about evil people who prosper
or fret about their wicked schemes.

The silence of God, as experienced by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, is a powerful reminder that God's silence is not an absence. It is a sacred space where trust can be deepened and spiritual maturity can grow. In these moments, believers are invited to persevere in faith, even without immediate answers or signs. This silence can be unsettling, but it can also be a time of profound spiritual development, where one's relationship with God is strengthened through steadfastness and continued prayer.
