When God Is Silent Poem by Qiniso Mogale

When God is silent
When God plays hard to get
When God will not listen
When God has seemingly stopped listening
When God is hard in hearing
When God has closed His ears
When God doesn't hear prayers.

When storms ravage our lives
But God remains silent
When chaos reigns supreme in our lives
But God remains silent
When floods shipwreck our boats of life
But God remains silent
When we scream in pain
But God remains silent
When we cry out sorrowfully
But God remains silent
When tears become our daily bread
But God remains silent.

When God is silent
Let's not lose faith
When God is silent
Let's not lose hope
Let's hold on to His promises
Let's wait for His answers
He is not a man that He should lie
He is not a son of man that He will change
His mind
His delays are not denials
