I light my usual candle and settle into the rocker. The little light springs to life as I prepare
for my nightly ritual with God. The
candle is the invitation. The signal
that God is near and I am getting ready to settle into His presence with the
prayer of silence.
And then I begin as I do every night with the settling of my
soul before Him.
Breathe in, breathe out.
The wrestling for silence.
There is a tension in silence in which I am learning to be
comfortable.
(Self Talk the Gospel is writing a series on spiritual disciplines and I recommend reading all the excellent posts in the series, in which I had the privilege of writing just this one on being silent before God in prayer)
