Rest In The Quiet

Rest in the Quiet

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength.”

Isaiah 30:15

How do you usually experience silence?

Do you long for more of it?

Does it feel lonely?

Do you try to avoid it?

Ask the Lord to help you be open to his presence. Be patient with yourself as you practice silence this week.

Start by setting a timer on your phone or clock for one minute. After you press “start,” do not look at the timer again until it rings.

If you haven’t done this before, a minute will seem like a long time! Close your eyes and sit in God’s presence, just content to be with him.
