Biblical Answer

God is not silent. He has spoken and told us what He is and that He existed before all else. His silence is not the same as His indifference. He has given us verbalized, propositional form of His character, and we have the answer to the existence of what is. This is evident in the incarnation of Jesus, where God gave Himself to humanity, showing us that He is not silent but actively involved in our lives. He is not indifferent but has spoken to us through His Word and in the person of Jesus Christ.

When we cannot hear God, it is not because He is silent, but because we are not listening or have not been given the ability to hear Him. God is omniscient, and He always hears our prayers, even if we do not hear Him in return. His silence is not a sign of His displeasure but a sign of trust in us. He trusts us to withstand His silence, to be still and know that He is God. His silence is contagious, and it gets into us, causing us to become perfectly confident in Him.

God's silence is not a lack of communication but a sign of His sovereignty and trust in us. He is not bound by time, and His silence is not a sign of His indifference but a sign of His active involvement in our lives. When we experience God's silence, we should praise Him, knowing that He is bringing us into the mainstream of His purposes. His silence is a sign of His trust in us, and it is a call to wait upon Him and be grounded in His Word. We should not pretend that our life is filled with joy and confidence but wait upon God and be still, knowing that He is God. His silence is a sign of His love and care for us, and it is a reminder that He is always with us, even when we cannot hear Him.
