What to Expect When You’re Silent Before God

When you finally slow down and find a quiet place, you might ask, “Now what?” The answer is simple: listen.

At first, your mind will race - silly thoughts, random worries, mental to-do lists. That’s normal. Don’t fight it. Let the noise pass through until it settles. Over time, the silly will be replaced by the meaningful, confusion by clarity, and shallowness by depth.

As your heart becomes quieter, the Scripture you’ve read, the prayers you’ve prayed, and the lessons you’ve learned will start to come together. That’s when clarity appears.

Call to Action: Don’t be discouraged by a restless mind. Dedicate 15 minutes to quiet, and allow God to settle your spirit in His time.
