We hear Silent Night every December and associate it with calm, candlelight, and comfort but the song was born in chaos, loss, and longing, not peace. In this message, we uncover the surprising history behind Silent Night and connect it to the story of Zechariah, a faithful priest whose long disappointment shaped what he believed was possible with God. Through seasons of silence, God doesn’t remove unrest around us, He heals the unrest within us. This teaching reveals how peace is connected to belief, how disappointment can quietly erode our trust, and why praise must become our first response if we want lasting peace. If you’ve been faithful but restless, believing but tired, this message will call you back to a deeper trust and a quieter soul.
