When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him in Seasons of Suffering

There are seasons in the Christian life when God feels near—and seasons when He feels painfully silent. In those moments of suffering, believers often wonder where God is and whether He still hears their prayers. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins helps Christians think biblically about suffering when God feels silent. Drawing from Psalm 13, Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 4, and other key passages, this teaching shows that God's silence is not abandonment, rejection, or indifference. Scripture reveals that these seasons are real and deeply biblical—and often the very places where God does His deepest work in His people. You'll be encouraged to trust God's unchanging character, rest in Christ's compassion as our suffering Savior, and remember that the silence of God is never the final word.
