SILENCE

SILENCE

of not knowing what to say

SILENCE

of having run out of things to say

SILENCE

of pain, doubt, and despair

SILENCE

of waiting
SILENCE
of the unknown
SILENCE
of wondering where God is
SILENCE
of a voice gone horse with crying and shouting
SILENCE
of a world that has moved on without seeming to care
SILENCE
SILENCE
SILENCE
of God reaching out
SILENCE
of nothing needing to be said
SILENCE
of contacts that need no words
SILENCE
of simple care
SILENCE
of just being together
SILENCE
of the still peace that comes of knowing that God is there, even in the midst of the SILENCE
that threatens to overwhelm us

Psalm 46.10a
Be still and know that I am God.

In the times of chaos and silence, may we be reminded of God’s presence, power, and love. AMEN
