Romans 2

Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:4)

When God does not act, it seems to suggest that God is okay with what I am doing....

God's kindness is meant to lead me to repentance....

What if I am not doing okay now.... but God is silent, because He is hoping I would turn my footsteps around?

How do I know?

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)

I have only one solution for myself now - that is to stay as close to God as I can, in His words and in prayers, holding onto Him; although I know that He sees my heart and He might not be too pleased, I'm not gonna let go. At this moment, with regards to my faith, my mind shall be over my heart. Even though I don't feel this way anymore, I know this way, and with this knowing, I'm clinging on to His promise and His might, that He would deliver me out of whatever I have to go through.
