How To Respond To God's Silence When He Is Reshaping Your Life

By Ann Miller


This world is not so enjoyable. Everywhere you go to, you hear stories of hatred, murder, war, hunger, and depression. People are faced with different kinds of trials and temptations inflicted by humans and perpetrated by the devil. Yet, in all these, the maker of the universe knows how best to use all of them in reshaping your life. This is to say that if you are passing through any of these things right now, rejoice if you are on the Lord's side. Even though it is difficult, reading the scriptures and praying consistently can help you overcome.

Reading the Bible in difficult times can be achieved in several ways even though this may not be so easy. Devotionals help during this period as the user becomes eager to know how a passage in the Bible ended. The notes from the writer can also bless your life as you strive to be a better person in the midst of the difficulties you face.

Also, try to make it a routine. Choose a particular time of the day to read your Bible. As that time draws closer, you feel a kind of intimacy with God. Remember He is the only one who is capable of giving you life in a new dimension.

Some churches organize early morning prayers so finding one in your locality will help in overcoming challenges. You will be blessed by the priest whose supplications at the altar will also affect you positively. Doing this regularly and consistently will draw more attention of God to you.

Apps for phones now make reading God's word easier. Some of them keep popping up Bible verses on your screen while others send the verses every day at a particular time. Some apps also have bible passages for different situations people face in life. For example, in times of lack, you can see what God wants you to know at that time.

Starting and ending a devotion with prayers is necessary. Taking down what God is saying to you from the passage will help you throughout the day. It is amazing how these scriptures are sometimes encountered on a day when they will be most useful.

Instead of filling the email message box with irrelevant things, you should rather subscribe to daily emails for God's word. They can come in the form of exposition, trending issues, news, and more. It supplements what one must have read in the morning and increases the chances of being reshaped as you get inspired by the real-life stories of others.

Therefore, no matter what you may be passing through this moment, know it that God has not abandoned you. He has prepared the Bible for your victory and wants you to pray to him for help ceaselessly. If you do what pleases him in your times of trials, your life will be reshaped like gold that is purified by passing through fire.
