Talking Silence

Talking Silence

The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

Proverbs 15:28

In conversations with others today, practice incorporating more quiet into the conversation instead of speaking words just to fill the silence.

Be intentional about allowing space before commenting, giving advice, or asking questions.

Then set a reminder for the end of the day to check in with yourself about how you did. How can you improve in making space for silence in conversations tomorrow?

Perhaps you can count to three before speaking?

Quickly pray before responding?

Refrain from speaking during lags in the conversation?
