SILENCE IN MEDITATION 

Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen.
ECCLESIASTES 5:1 

When you pray, do you do all the talking? To have God speak to your heart is an awesome experience—one you may miss if you monopolize the conversation and never pause to listen.

But when you remain quiet, the Lord will transform you, changing how you think and conforming you to His ways. How does He do so? He may remind you of an important passage of Scripture, reveal a biblical truth for you to apply, expose unconfessed sin, or bring someone to mind that needs your ministry. In other words, He will direct your path (Proverbs 3:6).

This is why it is so important for you to sit before Him in silence and allow Him to pour Himself into you. He will reveal His will and bring peace to your inner being.

Friend, sitting before God allows Him to speak to your heart clearly, positively, and unmistakably—showing you what to do. You will know that the Lord has truly spoken to you—and that’s the definition of life at its very best.

Lord, I will remain silent and listen for Your voice. Speak to me, Father Your servant is listening, amen.

In His presence… be silent and give Him time to respond.
