Sometimes, it can feel like your prayers just go into the void.
Why does it feel like your prayers are going unheard? Imagine, for a moment, that the silence you’re experiencing is not an absence but a sacred space—a canvas for spiritual growth.
But if we dig just a little. We can find many examples of these supposed silences from God being important.
