Silence

Abraham must have quietly wept 
Joseph must have felt torn apart
Jacob must have grieved 
David must have been heart broken
Jonah must have rebelled
Peter must have wailed loudly
Paul must have felt disappointed 
When their questions were met with silence 
From the one who knew all answers 
Why does silence have to be so hard
When I know that 
He never stops to listen
And that his answer will surely come
Is it my sinful nature, is it my lack of faith
That makes the silence so very painful
Or is this too part of His plan
To mould me into a useful vessel
Lord of all creation,
May the silence not destroy my soul.
