The Silent Part of the Process


By Jackie Overstreet October 5, 2025

When nothing seems to move, God is still at work.

There’s a moment in purpose when it feels like everyone else gets to go outside and play, but you’re stuck inside. Waiting. Working. Obeying.


Push harder, distract yourself, pretend it doesn’t bother you.

That’s not faith—it’s avoidance.


Here’s the truth: when the silence stretches on, it’s not punishment. It’s preparation. The enemy would love for you to believe nothing is happening. But silence is the stage where God builds strength you’ll need for the next act.


Emotions don’t disqualify you. They remind you that your heart is alive. Frustration, hope, doubt, anticipation—they’re signals. And if you lean into them instead of numbing them, you’ll start to see the glass ceiling for what it is: something you placed there, not God.


This is the part where you lock in. Where you stop interpreting delay as denial. Where you start believing that even when you can’t see it, God is moving mountains on your behalf.


Focus Point


Silence is not absence. It’s strategy.



Somebody you know is feeling stuck in the waiting room of life. Share this with them—it might be the reminder that keeps them moving forward.
