Almost Sunday

Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:30

The sky went dark. The earth trembled. The curtain tore. And then everything went still.

Silent Saturday sits in the space we don’t talk about much—between the cross and the empty tomb. Between heartbreak and hope fulfilled. It’s the day nothing seems to be happening, when Heaven feels quiet and you’re left waiting.

Maybe you know that place.

The place where everything you’ve prayed for feels like it’s unraveling instead. Where there are more setbacks than progress, more questions than answers, more silence than clarity.

And the waiting stretches on.

You lie awake at night, bracing for what might come next. You hold your breath when your phone lights up. You try to act normal while carrying a weight no one else can see.

And it’s not just the big things.

It’s the daily ones too—waiting for a conversation that never happens, for a relationship to soften, for direction, for peace in a mind that won’t slow down, for strength to get through another day that feels heavier than it should.

You show up. You pray. And still nothing seems to change.

That’s Silent Saturday.

It’s the space where you know what’s been lost, but you can’t yet see what’s being restored. Where you keep loving, keep praying—but as the season stretches, doubt creeps in and trust begins to fade.

God, where are You?

But just because Heaven is quiet doesn’t mean God is absent. And just because you don’t see movement doesn’t mean nothing is happening.

Jesus was dead. The tomb was sealed. The story felt over. Hope looked buried.

But God was working—unseen.

And He still is.

Even here. Even now.

I’ve lived through a season where it felt like nothing was changing.

But what looked like the end… wasn’t.

For a long time, nothing was improving. Honestly, it was getting worse. But over time, in ways I couldn’t have planned, God began to restore what I thought was lost.

I’ve seen life come back when it felt like death would win.

Resurrection didn’t happen overnight.

But it did happen.

So if you’re in the waiting, if your prayers feel unanswered, if you’re holding on by a thread—

Remember…

The miracle is still coming.

Sunday is almost here.

Happy Easter!

You are loved!
