The Narrow Way

You prayed.
You obeyed.
You showed up with hands lifted and heart wide open
and still, it’s quiet.

No confirmation.
No breakthrough.
Just stillness.

And if you’re honest, it stings.
Because silence can feel like absence.
But in the kingdom, silence is often the sound of preparation.

Think of Jesus.
Thirty years of silence before three years of ministry.
Thirty years of heaven watching, shaping, stretching
not forgetting.

God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s ignoring you.
It means He’s forming something deeper in you.

Isaiah 64:4 says,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.”

He’s not inactive.
He’s arranging.
He’s not absent.
He’s architecting.

The silence is where roots go deep.
Where pride dies.
Where trust grows wild and unshakeable.
Because if you can love God when He’s quiet,
you’ll never be shaken when the world gets loud.

Sometimes the silence is Him protecting you
from rushing into something too soon.
Sometimes it’s Him strengthening you
for something far greater than you prayed for.

And sometimes
the silence is the answer.
An invitation to be still,
to be known,
to stop striving and start resting.

So don’t let the silence scare you.
Let it sanctify you.
Let it press you deeper into faith.
Let it make you dangerous to the darkness.

Because the silence is not forever.
And when He speaks
mountains move, graves break open, and destinies ignite.

So stay steady.
Stay close.
And when all you hear is quiet,
lean in
you’re closer to the breakthrough than you think.
