Dear God,

Only when we are silent, letting go of the sounds of worry, anxiety, busyness, distraction and scattered thoughts are we able to hear you, O Lord.  Only when we let you bubble to the top are we able to see you.  Only when we want you more than anything and everything around us can we find you waiting for us.  Only in silence.

Silence offers much, much more than any and all distraction.  It affords opportunity to draw holy breaths of faith, hope and peace.  There the light shines continually.  It draws us in, holds us and feeds us holy food.  Living water washes over us restoring and revitalizing us.  In silence you meet us, like nowhere else.

Thank you
for silence,
Holy God.
Thank you
for the blessing
of faith.
Thank you
for calling us
to silence.

Love, Andrea
