            Listening for God
        
        
    
    
        
            
                
                
        
        
        
        
            
        
                
                    Why Be Silent
                    
                        
                        By practicing intentional silence, we are able to hear the voice of God in ways that noise never allows.
                    
                
                
             
        
        
    
    
        
            
                
                
        
        
        
        
            
        
                
                    Following Jesus into Silence
                    
                        
                        Jesus had a need to be alone, to pray, to 
“go to a place apart.” … His teachings seemed 
to say that He was closest to 
His Father when He was alone in prayer 
and reflection. He wants us to seek God 
in the same way.

                        By pausing to write about the different times in our life, what they 
mean to us and where God’s fingerprints can be found, all time becomes 
more 
precious.
                    
                
                
             
        
        
    
    
        
            
                
                
        
        
        
        
            
        
                
                    Lesson from the Bible on Living More Slowly
                    
                        
                        The way of holiness is not achieved through hurriedness, busy-ness, or instant production. The way of God is the way of waiting.
