When The Long Night Has Ended

 

There are times and situations in all of our lives

where we must seek God for answers unseen.

For the season we walk through is like a long night

where we toss in the absence of dreams.

But we pray and press through one day at a time

knowing our prayers are recorded and heard.

All the while watching and waiting for the day

when God answers with a definite word.

But what we don't realize at the onset is this-

that God is speaking through the silence each day.

For God is teaching the faithful to persevere by faith

between the times when we sit down to pray.

And though specific answers for the issues we face

leave us waiting for clear, divine direction,

We find greatest solace in what we already know

about God's character and endless perfection.

The silence and the standstill of that particular need

make us see God without strings attached.

For we learn that prayer isn't a button we push

where God pushes a button to match.

Because one day the long night will be lifted away

to see the morning and its beauty so fair.

And that word from the Father at just the right time

brings the daybreak of our answered prayer.

 

have a blessed day
Sylvia
