He is not silent...

i have to admit...i have felt that God has been silent in my life...and although i know it not to be true...it is how i've been feeling...seems my life has been at such a standstill lately...and just when i am over one huge obstacle...and think relief is coming my way...two more obstacles stand before me...

as i cry out to Him for relief...i only hear silence...and i only see the obstacles...

this morning...in my quiet time...i had no words left...just tears...and in that silence...i realized that the chatter of broken promises...the questionable integrity of people...has been clanging so loud in my brain...that i can't hear anything else...

as i was sitting in my office...with my itunes set on "random"...this song came on...pierced my heart...He is not silent...i am not listening...or i should say...i'm listening...but to the wrong things...

help me Lord...to listen...only to You...

out of the grey - He is not silent...

The people said this desert never ends
We have no bread our throats are dry
Our heads are heavy and our feet need rest
Has He left us here to die?

And we've forgotten all His words
As if we never heard
We take our hearts and turn away

But He is not silent
He is not whispering
We are not quiet
We are not listening
He sends a lifeline
We keep resisting Him
He is not silent
We are not listening

We wander through this world
In disbelief
Shake our heads at every tear
Searching endlessly
For some relief
Has He left us dying here?

But we've forgotten all His words
Pretend we never heard
We take our hearts and turn away

But He is not silent
He is not whispering
We are not quiet
We are not listening
He sends a lifeline
We keep resisting Him
He is not silent
We are not listening
No, we are not listening

We take our daily bread
And after we've been fed
We take our hearts and turn away
