Engaging the Silence by Pete Greig

first
there is
  prayer
and where there is prayer
there may be
  miracles
but where miracles may not be
there are
  questions
and where there are questions
there may be
  silence
but silence may be
more than
  absence
silence
may be presence
  muted
silence
may not be nothing but
  something
to explore
defy accuse
  engage 
and
this is
  prayer
and where there is prayer
there may yet be
  miracles...

The parents of a teen who was kidnapped and later murdered wrote this:

When Silence is God's only voice,
and waiting on Him my only choice.
A banner of faith I humbly raise
and offer up a song of praise.
Though answers He may not impart,
forever I can trust His heart.

Keep trusting His heart.
