A Silent War

A Silent War. 

Everything is so loud when you are at war. 
All the sounds….all the yells…..all the screaming of anger, fear, sadness, loss…..
All the unexpected sharp pains. The hiding spots helping you feel safe….. 

But then silence hits you…..not a sound….not an explosion of yelling at once. No draining of the body….but this silence…..the silence is the most underrated…..powerful weapon of them all. It means defeat. Someone won….. 

But deep down inside you know it wasn’t you….so you become worried….you crave the yells….the fear….even the pain….Because If there’s silence…..there’s defeat…..there’s no reason for the enemy to attack you anymore…..at the moment that is…..because his plan finally worked. 

Now you are empty inside….knowing you failed. But don’t give up….there’s hope. You can win back your badge of untouchable faith…..just keep praying….just keep moving….God will pull you out of this confusion….he will heal every scrape and bruise….because he loves you. Forever. Amen
