Silence

I have dreams. 
                 I have hopes.
                                     I have desires and longings. 
I have prayers and requests.


I also have an intercessor who speaks to the Lord and Creator of the universe on my behalf. 


I am blessed.   


Lately, though, I have not been hearing back. 
                                             All that has been coming from God is...silence.


I don't do silence. 


                    I have a noise maker on as I sleep. 
                                     I have music on as I drive.
I have a movie on in the background right now. 


I am struggling in this silence, but the truth is that I am still being heard...

"Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself;

the LORD hears when I call to him."

-Psalm 4:3

"In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly." -Psalm 5:3

"You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry," -Psalm 10:7

Yet, despite being heard, and despite sincere cries for mercy, healing,  guidance and love...silence. I am baffled. So when I am baffled, I turn to my resource to Heaven, Life and God's glory, and I found this...

"keep yourselves in God’s love 

as you wait for the mercy 

of our Lord Jesus Christ 

to bring you to eternal life." 

- Jude 1:21

So, if you think of it...pray for me that I would keep myself in God's love as I wait for mercy and for Heaven. Pray that I would be able to let go of my dreams and open my ears and hands to all that God has in store. This is a hard season and I want to finish strong.
