Recently I had received an early morning call that my mother had a stroke. Though I was alarmed of course, I immediatly felt a strange kind of silence within. It came with a strength like "the great mountains."

I did not sense to fall down and pray, but only a strong silence that was from God. I only said the words, "Lord thank you that you have everything in control."

For the next few days and nights, that strange kind of silence was very great. I knew it was from the Lord because of the nature of it. I felt sad for my mother of course and had all the very real human emotions, yet still deep below was a kind of quiet holding of the soul.

I waited in night "watchings" and still felt that quiet, calm atmophere of that strange silence. It was not an empty silence because it came with a crystal clear knowing and peace that all was fine, even though there were no signs of it.

This was not the first time I have experienced this, therefore I was more than acquainted with it. Sometimes God does not want us to always be rushing into prayer. Instead, He gives a strange kind of silence that He wants us to trust Him in.

It is very distinct and it is quickly known it is not the devil, or yourself, but given to you from God to be exercised in it. This God-given silence is a sign that He is trusting us to handle a bigger revelation He wants to impart. It is very personal but something that must be obeyed.

Do not be afraid when this silence is given to you in times you least expect it. If so, keep your mouth closed and listen.

"So wait before the Lord; wait in the stillness. And in that stillness, assurance will come to you. You will know that you are heard; you will know that your Lord ponders the voice of your humble desires; you will hear quiet words spoken to you yourself, perhaps to your grateful surprise and refreshment."
