In our prayer lives, God often speaks most clearly to us in moments when we can quiet our own minds and voices. Words can sometimes be more reflective of our own anxieties and concerns than of God’s action. While prayerful words can be a beautiful mode of communication, they can also be distractions from fully placing ourselves in God’s hands. Sometimes our words manifest our own limits. Silence makes room for the fullness of God’s dynamic and healing power.
Marina McCoy, “God in the Silence”
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. – Lamentations 3:26
