| 0:00.0 | Hi there. Thanks for listening to the Sister Circle podcast. |
| 0:07.1 | My name is Crystal Evanshurst, and I'm your host. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the podcast that's designed to help you live your life well and to make it a life you love. Listen, you get to choose. Have you ever found yourself |
| 0:31.3 | in a situation where you feel like God is silent? Like you're asking him all the questions? |
| 0:37.0 | He's not saying no. He's not saying |
| 0:39.7 | anything. I want to talk to you today about what it means to trust God even when he's silent. |
| 0:45.4 | And if you feel alone in that, trust me, you are not the only one. You are not the only person |
| 0:50.7 | that has wondered, where is God when you need him, where you've wondered, why is he not |
| 0:55.7 | answering my prayers? When you have asked yourself, how long do I have to wait to know what the |
| 1:00.2 | answer is or for him to make some changes in my life? You are not the only one. It is a common |

| 1:25.5 | where are you God? And I want to just normalize that |
| 1:28.6 | because one of the things that is the biggest problem is that when this is happening in your life, |
| 1:34.0 | you'll feel like it's just me. Everybody else is getting along with God except me. Everybody |
| 1:38.4 | else is getting their prayers answered except me. Everybody else is moving forward in their lives. |
| 1:43.5 | It's just me. God has it out for me. And these are the |
| 1:46.2 | things that we tell ourselves, which then send us down a bigger rabbit hole, because if it's just us, |
| 1:52.3 | then what do we do to fix that? I want you to know that whether it's your health or your marriage or |
| 1:57.0 | your money, whether it is your career, your emotions, your living circumstances, whether it is |
| 2:03.0 | a dream that you've had that seems delayed. Waiting is a part of living. And when we're waiting, |
