Revelation 8:1-7 
Silence is not emptiness but sacred space—an invitation to prayer. The prayers of God’s people rise like incense before the throne, showing that the unfolding of God’s purposes includes the faithful prayers of His people. Prayer isn’t just expression—it’s alignment, shaping our will to match God’s, just as Jesus modeled in Gethsemane. As we wait for God's full redemption, our calling is to pray, trusting that heaven listens and responds.
