Rachel Wojo reflects on Isaiah 30:18 and a lonely experience from her first week of college to explore why God's silence does not necessarily mean His absence. If you're waiting on God for an answer, direction, breakthrough, or reassurance, this devotional offers biblical encouragement to stop trying to control the waiting and trust God's presence and compassion even when you cannot hear His voice or see what He is doing.
