Where Is God When He Seems Quiet?
This month has been a struggle in ways I didn’t anticipate. The uncertainty from last month continues — my partner is still without work, finances feel stretched, and life has a heaviness that isn’t easy to shake.
And if I’m honest, sometimes I wonder: Where is God in all of this?
He feels quiet. Distant. As if He’s watching from afar while I try to navigate the unknown. I know in my head that He is present, that He is faithful, that He is working behind the scenes. But in my heart, it’s harder to feel. Harder to trust. Harder to keep creating, blogging, and moving forward when the answers don’t come.
I’m learning that the quiet is part of the refining. The silence doesn’t mean He’s absent. It means this is a season of deep trust, a season where faith isn’t built on feelings or visible outcomes, but on the character of God Himself.
Blossom Braid International continues in the background, a space of obedience and creativity even when life feels uncertain. I’m reminded that God doesn’t need to speak loudly for Him to be present. Sometimes faith is simply choosing to keep moving, keep creating, and keep trusting — even when it’s hard, even when the silence feels heavy.
If you’re in a season where God seems quiet, you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel the weight of uncertainty, to voice the questions, and to hold onto Him even when the answers aren’t clear.
Today, I’m choosing to lean on the truth that His presence is constant, even when His voice is quiet. And sometimes, that quiet is exactly where He wants to shape trust, faith, and hope.
