When God seems silent

Sometimes when we try to know our merciful Lord even more, it will seem that he is silent. Maybe sin got in the way or maybe you allowed your idea of ​​God to cloud his true voice and his real presence. At other times, Jesus hides his presence and remains hidden for a reason. It does so as a way to delve deeper. Don't worry if God seems silent for this reason. It is always part of the journey (see Diary n. 18).

Reflect today on how much God is present. Perhaps it is abundantly present, perhaps it seems distant. Now put it aside and realize that God is always intimately present to you, whether he wants it or not. Trust him and know that he is always with you, regardless of how you feel. If it seems distant, first examine your conscience, admit any sin that may be on the way, then do an act of love and trust in the midst of whatever you are going through.

Lord, I have faith in you because I believe in you and in your infinite love for me. I trust that you are always there and that you care about me in all moments of my life. When I cannot perceive your divine presence in my life, help me to look for you and to have even more trust in You. Jesus I believe in you.
