silence

Opening Prayer: For God alone my soul waits in silence. (Psalm 62:1, ESV)

Scripture: Psalm 62:1-6

Journal: What role does silence play in your spiritual journey?  How might the practice of silence nurture the life of God within you?  When, where, and how will you incorporate some silence into your life?

Reflection:

     silence

there is a pattern

woven into the 

fabric of creation

first silence

then God speaks

and finally

things are set 

into motion

why then

do we so often

start with action

rather than silence

action taken

without silence

is action taken

out of context

words spoken

without silence

are words spoken

out of context

for God alone

my soul waits

in silence

may that be true 

of me today 

O Lord

Prayer

Closing Prayer:  For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. (Psalm 62:5, ESV)
