You will answer, oh Lord

Never say that God does not listen to your cry, that God is not aware of you, because it is not so. He sees all that is in this world, on earth, under the earth, even in the deepest, where man has not yet been able to reach.

God knows everything. If man has not been able to come, God yes, because all things were done by Him, and He knows where they are, only He. Our heart can not be disturbed, because the Lord is with us all the time.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Psalm 38:13

At certain times we are very ignorant when God wants to deal with us, but remember that His Words are very clear, that His voice is His word, He speaks to us through it.

There are times when we sit in a place and ask ourselves, why does not God speak to me? Why can not I hear His voice? We do not listen to His voice because we do not pay attention to that beautiful voice, to that sweet voice that can instantly transform us.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

Psalm 38:14

These words mentioned by the psalmist David, was because he was going through a difficult time, but, although he was distressed, he did not back away, but kept going forward hoping to hear the voice of God which was of encouragement to his soul.

Many people think that God will speak to them when they want, not when God decides, but it is not so, but when God believes it to be His divine will.

For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

Psalm 38:15

It is good that we do not despair when we pray to God for an answer, but that we say at the same time “that his will be done,” like the psalmist David who said “I hope; You will hear.”

The silence of God is not a sign of abandonment, but often a moment of shaping. Many times the Lord allows silence so that our heart may calm down, so that our thoughts are aligned with His Word, and so that we may learn to trust without depending on emotions. God is always present, even when we do not perceive Him, because His faithfulness does not depend on our feelings but on His eternal character.

Just as David went through moments of anguish, we too face seasons in which we feel spiritually deaf or blind. However, the Scriptures teach us that faith is not based on immediate responses but on the assurance of who God is. When we cannot hear His voice, we must remember what He has already spoken, because the Word of God is the clearest expression of His will and His love for us.

There are believers who think that God speaks only through supernatural manifestations, but forget that He speaks daily through His Word, through His creation, through wise counsel, and through the inner conviction of the Holy Spirit. The problem is not that God is silent, but that we are surrounded by too much noise—worries, fears, distractions, and doubts that cloud our spiritual sensitivity.

When we learn to quiet our hearts, the voice of God becomes clearer. This requires discipline, humility, and a sincere desire to seek Him. David understood this, and although he felt powerless, he chose to trust. His example teaches us that waiting on God is not a passive act, but a demonstration of faith. Hope in God is active, constant, and persevering.

Every Christian must learn to differentiate between God’s silence and His absence, because the two are not the same. Silence is a tool of growth, while absence is impossible, for He has promised: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” The Lord is closer than we imagine, sustaining us, strengthening us, and guiding us even when our spiritual ears cannot hear Him.

Therefore, when you feel that heaven is silent, do not give up. Continue praying, continue worshiping, continue reading the Scriptures. In due time, God will speak, and His answer will always come in the perfect moment. Just as David declared with confidence that the Lord would hear him, we too must trust that God listens to every cry, sees every tear, and knows every battle we face. He is faithful to respond, but always according to His divine and perfect will.
