When God Seems Silent
Commentators highlight that feeling unheard by God is one of the most profound struggles of faith. This verse gives voice to that pain, showing that even Jesus experienced incessant prayer that seemed to go unanswered. Scholars like Calvin and Spurgeon note that if Christ endured this, believers should not lose heart when they face seasons of silence, but should persist in prayer.
