The silence of God in no way indicates that He is uninvolved. His promise to never leave or forsake us does not change when we are unaware of His Presence. The work that He begins in the life entrusted to His grace and mercy will continue by the power of the Holy Spirit until we stand before Him, Face-to-face. Do not lose hope. Your hope in not grounded in your circumstances. It is grounded in the Person on Jesus Christ.
