What Do You Do When God Is Silent?

So today at church the topic was:

What do you do when God is silent?

We were given the scripture of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 which says;

To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born,

    And a time to die;

A time to plant, 

    And a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill,

    And a time to heal;

A time to break down,

    And a time to build up;

 

A time to weep,

    And a time to laugh;

A time to mourn,

    And a time to dance;

 

A time to cast away stones,

    And a time to gather stones;

A time to embrace,

    And a time to refrain from embracing;

 

A time to gain,

    And a time to lose;

A time to keep,

    And a time to throw away;

 

A time to tear,

    And a time to sew;

A time to keep silence,

    And a time to speak;

 

A time to love,

    And a time to hate;

A time of war,

    And a time of peace.

(NJKV)

When I got home and reflected on this, especially on the closing of the sermon which stated we must keep close to God and keep pressing forward a song came to mind. Juanita Bynum's "In the Silence".

Its such a powerful song. Silence can be frustrating but what do you do in those quiet times can truly make a difference. Don't lose faith still push forward.  What do you do when you feel God is silent?
