Trusting in God’s Silence

Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.  

Reading: Psalm 13:1–6

Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.  
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.

David begins Psalm 13 in despair but ends in praise. That’s the power of choosing trust even when God seems silent. Waiting on God can feel lonely, but His silence doesn’t mean His absence. Let your memory of His faithfulness be louder than your present uncertainty.

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…  

1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).  
2. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Thank God for a time when He came through for you—and ask Him to help you trust while you wait again.
   
3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.  

Take Action:

• Write out Psalm 13:5–6 and keep it where you’ll see it often this week.
• Share a past testimony of God’s faithfulness with someone who needs encouragement.
