Waiting on GOD especially in silence is one of the hardest places to be. You’re not alone in that feeling. So many faithful people in Scripture, and even today, have wrestled with long seasons of unanswered prayer.

Think of Hannah, who prayed year after year for a child with no answer (1 Samuel 1). Or David, who cried out, "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?" (Psalm 13:1). Or even Jesus, who prayed in the garden, asking for the cup to pass and still submitted to the Father’s will in silence.

God’s silence doesn’t mean His absence. Sometimes, He’s working in ways we can’t yet see or understand. That doesn’t make it easier, but it does mean there is purpose in the pain and you are seen, even in the silence.

“Unrealistic things I want in my future home.”

Instead of saying, "LORD I don't know how I am going to do this," say, "LORD, I can't wait to see how you do this.

GOD promoted Joseph after years of betrayal. Don’t curse the pit - GOD may be using it to prepare the palace.

The Cost of Staying

Sometimes it’s not that you didn’t want the job.

It’s that you wanted it too much. And now you're floating down some corporate river. Toward the wrong end of The Waterfall (TM).

You worked too hard. Put up with too much. Got good at things you never thought you’d be good at. Found your rhythm. Found your people. Maybe even started to believe you belonged there.

And then it changed.

Or maybe it didn’t. Maybe it was always like this and you just finally let yourself admit that the cost was too high.

That staying meant watching someone else get away with it. That staying meant shrinking a little bit each day. That staying meant carrying your own silence like it was professionalism. Like it was maturity. Like it was strength.

But here’s the truth no one wants to put on a poster: Sometimes leaving is the only way to protect yourself.

And that doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean you weren’t strong enough. It means the place wasn’t safe enough.

And maybe that’s not the ending you deserved, but it’s not the end of your story either (the waterfall).
