It’s amazing how much courage it takes not just to speak your truth, but to finally accept silence as the answer.
Lately, I've had to navigate a challenging season of goodbye. It involved a few unexpected, back-and-forth messages after a long period of distance. In those moments, the temptation is always to cling to the memory of what was good, even when you know that going back would cost you your hard-won peace.
I put my whole heart out there, not with demands, but with honesty, kindness, and unwavering faith. I prayed for blessing, healing, and rest, not just for myself, but for the other person as well.
The result was the clearest answer I could have received, silence.
It’s painful to accept that closure often looks less like a long, heartfelt conversation and more like a simple, empty inbox. But that silence is a gift. It frees you from the "what if" and forces you to step fully into the beautiful life God has waiting for you.
If you are waiting for a sign, let the silence be your sign. Let it be the gentle push you need to close the door on a chapter that was delaying your growth. True strength is found not in holding on, but in finally letting go and trusting God with the outcome.
My commitment now is to invest my voice, my energy, and my love into the places where it is welcomed and returned: my community, my faith, and the new connections I'm building. The chapter is closed, and I choose peace.
A Prayer for Strength and Peace
Merciful God,
Thank you for the gift of clarity, even when it is wrapped in the pain of silence. Grant me the strength to let go of the need for answers and to fully accept the closure that You have provided.
Pour Your peace into the places where I feel disappointment and sadness. Help me to forgive myself for any mistakes, and to forgive others for the boundaries they set.
I pray that I may continue to stand firm in my faith, investing my heart and energy into the future You have planned for me. Rest my heart, O Lord, and help me to walk forward in freedom and confidence.
In Jesus's name
Amen.
