When God is silent

I've been listening to Christian podcasts lately and I still can't get enough of Dr. Stanley Charles message on "When God is silent." One of the reasons he gave is that when God is silent, He's been good to us. He also used the story of God raising Lazarus from the dead to remind us that delay is not denial.

It is very difficult and very discouraging when one is really expecting from God. I,ve been battling with the issue of God's silence lately and I pray that I will be still to hear from Him.
