Points to Ponder
The Silence of God: Why would a God who loves us apparently ignore our prayer to the point of seeming like an indifferent judge whom we must consistently pester to get a hearing? Perhaps our own experience of prayer, heartfelt prayer, has raised such questions in our minds. Why does God so often seem silent? More than likely, our deafness is more often to blame than is God’s silence. We are distracted, worried, and often not recollected, so we can miss his sometimes subtle communications It’s also possible that Our Lord wants to achieve something in us by having us wait for his reply. Perseverance in Prayer: When we must wait on the Lord, we have an opportunity to grow in a variety of ways. We can grow in patience, learning that God’s timing is not ours. We can grow in humility, realising that God is in charge and that we are not. We can grow in our desire for that for which we ask. Additionally, we can grow in our confidence in God, realizing that whether we receive the requested favor or not, God knows best and only desires our good. Consequently, we are more at peace and willing to face all things, confident in his providential care. Desiring God above All Things: Perhaps the most important lesson we learn by waiting on God’s response to our prayer is to desire God above all things. Someone fully satisfied and content feels no need for help or change – no need for God. However, when we come face-to-face with a real need and acknowledge our insufficiency, we turn to God.
