“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 NIV
One of the best things we can do to strengthen our trust in God and increase our experience of his goodness is to learn to get quiet before him. Too often, we attempt to rush in and out of God’s presence with a prayer list that we feel must be requested or a Scripture passage that we feel must be read. However, rushing and busyness around God rarely amount to anything. They keep us disconnected from God’s presence and unable to hear his voice leading us.
This week, set aside some time in a place where you can get alone and quiet with God. Make sure it is not less than 15 minutes. 30 minutes to an hour would be more helpful. Don’t say much of anything, just tell God you’re ready to honor him with your attention, then sit still and listen. If you sense God prompting you to pray about something, then pray about it. If you feel led to read a certain Scripture passage read it. If you hear nothing or don’t feel led in any way, than just sit still and think about what you do know about God.
