Embrace the Silence🌸

Sometimes, God gives us a glimpse of His plans for our lives, and then it may get quiet for a time. Trusting Him through quiet and waiting seasons can be challenging, but it’s in these moments that He’s often growing our faith and shaping our character.

🌷 Trusting in His Timing
In those quiet moments, it can feel like we’re not hearing from God or like nothing is happening. But trust that even when it’s silent, He is still at work for our good. God is always shaping us, preparing us for the future He has planned. These are the moments when we need to lean in closer and trust that His plan is still unfolding, even if we can’t see it just yet. He knows the best timing and what’s meant for you.

🌸 Trusting When It’s Hard
Whether it’s a season of waiting, uncertainty, or something challenging, keep trusting in the guidance He’s given you before. He is a faithful Father, who loves you greatly. It's also a decision to always believe that God knows what’s best for us, even when we don’t understand why things are happening the way they are. Remember what He’s guided you on before and continue trusting Him.

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV):
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

This verse is a beautiful reminder that trust isn’t about understanding everything; it’s about knowing God is faithful to guide us and make our paths clear in His timing.

💖 How to Trust When You Can’t Hear Him
It’s easy to trust when everything is clear, but what do we do when we don’t see where He’s leading or hear Him for a season? Keep trusting Him!

• Lean into His presence: Spend time in prayer and reflection. Trust that God’s presence is enough. He will never leave you.

• Declare your trust: Speak life over your situation by declaring scripture. For example, “My hope is in You, Lord. I trust You, God.” Speak it over your life daily.

• Stay close to Him: Even if the answers aren’t coming as quickly as we’d like, continue seeking Him and trusting His plan.

• As we trust in God's plans, especially when it’s quiet, it’s so important to keep listening, keep taking the steps He’s already laid out for you. Even in the quiet, He’s at work in you. 🌿

🌸 Encouragement for the Waiting Seasons
If you’re in a season of waiting, wondering what’s next, or facing challenges, remember this: God has not forgotten you. He is still with you, guiding you through every step. And as you trust Him, you’ll begin to see how He’s building your faith and growing you into a stronger person. It may come after the fact, but when you look back, it’s amazing to see how God grows us.

If you’re looking for a way to stay encouraged in these moments, I’ve created a Mini Devotional with gentle reminders, scripture, prayers, and reflection to help you spend meaningful time with God, even in the quiet or waiting seasons. You can find that here!

🙏 Final Thoughts
God’s plans for you are good, and in His timing, He is so very loving. Let God know that you trust Him. We are so blessed to have a loving father! Keep trusting, even when you don’t hear Him for a time, and know that He’s always working on your behalf.

🌸 Hold on to scripture that reminds you of God’s promises and His faithfulness. A beautiful example is Sarah, Abraham’s wife, who was promised a child even in her old age. Though time passed and it seemed unlikely, God fulfilled His promise, showing that His timing is always perfect.

When going through a challenging time awhile ago, I created floral prayer and scripture Cards filled with sweet encouragement. They come in a little bag to carry with you, as well as a stand. These cards include scripture and prayers perfect for daily encouragement. Check them out in my shop here!

💖 Remember, you’re never alone. God is with you every step of the way.
