Silence

Silence

This week’s summer school of prayer topic is silence. Yes, silence. When we think of prayer, we often think of the many words we have to speak. That’s not always the case. Taking an extended time to sit quietly while reading the Bible, reflecting on the words and journaling your thoughts—that’s prayer as well. Thankfully God considers prayer to include complete silence, not just uplifted voice. Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, comes to mind. We read that the Lord commended her for simply sitting with Him and listening. This week, perhaps you just need to sit quietly with Jesus for awhile. Let Him speak to you, and jot those thoughts down. So much can happen in that quiet place with God. Now that’s something to pray about!
