Wasn't that a Simon & Garfunkel song? Anyway, I'm sort of bummed. Okay, no, I'm a lot bummed. I'm going through a valley right now--a valley of discouragement. The sound of silence I'm referring to is that I've yet to hear God's answer to a long held prayer. I'm undecided about whether I should continue praying about the matter or just stop altogether mentioning it.
I know that I'm not the only person who has ever become discouraged. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah was disheartened after fleeing from Jezebel after her death threats. He was hiding in the Kerith Ravine. He felt abandoned but God had not left him. God sent the ravens to sustain him with food. In Genesis 21, Hagar felt she had been abandoned with her son and left to die in the Desert of Beersheba. God provided her answers there.
I'm hanging on. I've examined myself and tried to repent of everything I'm aware of that could be hindering my prayer from being answered. Hopefully, He'll send word (through results) soon.
Love Ya,
God Bless!
