WHEN HEAVEN GOES QUIET
When the heavens grow still,
And your prayers seem to disappear,
When each quiet “Father”
Feels hidden in the dusk,
Don’t assume He has abandoned you,
Or ignored your pleas;
At times, it’s in the quiet
That belief learns to soar.
When your eyes brim with tears,
And solitude engulfs your heart,
When the path ahead
Feels like a rocky trail,
Recall those times
When grace guided you onward;
The God who was with you yesterday
Still watches over you.
Although heaven might be muted,
God notices everything,
He observes each struggle,
Every worry you conceal.
He understands all your doubts,
Every weight on your heart,
And even when it’s quiet,
He is always close by.
Maybe He is showing
Your heart the value of patience,
Perhaps what you seek
Would arrive either too soon or too late.
His silence doesn’t always mean
A negative response to your prayer;
Sometimes it is merely,
“Have faith, I am here. ”
So when heaven falls silent,
Don’t give up your melody.
Keep moving forward with belief,
Stay hopeful, and hold tight.
For beyond every hush,
A new dawn will break;
And eventually, you will comprehend
The insight behind His answers.
