What does the Bible say about God's silence in prayer?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates that God's silence can be a judgment against sin, as seen in the case of Saul in 1 Samuel 28.

In 1 Samuel 28, Saul experiences God's silence in response to his desperate inquiries. This silence is not due to God's indifference or inability to hear; rather, it is a reflection of God's judgment against Saul's persistent rebellion and unbelief. Divine mercy is available through Christ, and God hears the prayers of His children who approach Him with a humble heart and reliance on grace. Just as with Saul, seeking God without true repentance or faith will lead to silence.
