When you bring silent requests before God, you show a faith that does not rely on many words but on trust in His knowledge of all hearts. Do not stagger at the promises, though they seem beyond reason, but be strong in faith, giving glory to God as Abraham did. Remember that in bringing these needs to the whole church, even unspoken, you receive the power of many gathered in His name; for where two or three are gathered, Christ is in the midst, and the common consent of prayer is mighty. In nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. You have already done well to thank the Father, for thanksgiving in all things, even in the hidden trials, is medicine for the soul. The peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Therefore, be of good courage; your silent sighs are heard, and He who sees in secret will reward you openly.
