"Our seasons of fasting and prayer at the Tabernacle have been high days indeed, never has Heaven's gate stood wider, never have our hearts been nearer the central Glory" Charles Spurgeon


Jaclynn and I completed the 40 days of prayer and fasting that our church organized last month. Not that I want to boast to the whole wide world that me and she fasted, but just feel like writing here what I really learn and went through during this period. This is because I felt so good after the whole fasting thing and I think the experience for this time is really different from the past ones. I am not sure about Jaclynn though. Maybe I should tagg her about this. (Jaclynn, you got homework at your blog now).. =)

The statement by Charles Spurgeon is really true. When we earnestly seek God and meditate on His word, you will never fail to taste the greatness of Him.

Very often, we think that when God is silence, He is not there or He is ignoring us, He is rejecting us or has forgotten about us. Sometimes, we complained that He is not hearing our prayers and our prayers seems to bounced back to us when we pray.

However,I learn that the true interpretations of God's silence is that God wants us to have an utimately deep relationship with him. His silence is a way for us to reconnect with Him and it is a time to mould our understanding towards Him. It is a time of reflective and at the same time, being patience and persistence towards God.


I myself often get frustated and angry when I interpreted God's silent as God is ignoring me. I will ended up questioning about His presence, His ways, His mighty power. But, after knowing this, I finally acknowledge the importance of God's silence. He is there, He is listening, just that I am not willing to listen from Him and be patience with Him. It is just me being adamant about my prayer lists over the need of finding understanding in Him.

God's silence is so precious to us. We should not take it for granted and be so ignorant to it.
