Our daily lives seem filled to the brim with clamour and chatter. Screens bombard us with information. Social lives connect us incessantly. Quiet spaces feel uncomfortable, even threatening. Yet it is in stillness that God’s voice emerges most clearly.

Within the silence, we make space to examine our deepest truths. Without the distractions of outside input, God’s quiet guidance through intuition and conscience comes into focus. When we listen in solitude, we begin to perceive purpose and meaning amid the chaos.

Too often we drown out God by filling up every waking moment. The Divine dwells in the gaps, awaiting an invitation through prayer or meditation to enter into our awareness. By regularly carving out silence, we give the Sacred a chance to transform us.

Starting is not easy. Our addicted minds revolt against the pain of confronting our inner shadows. But what begins as discipline grows into a blissful retreat. In quietness we touch wisdom and strength far greater than our own.

So make time for stillness daily, even small pockets help. Turn off the news, put down the phone, close the computer. Sit, walk, breathe. Let your racing thoughts settle gently. Listen for the voice of grace emerging. God speaks fluently in the language of silence.
