Speak Gently in My Silence
Dear Lord,
Speak gently in my silence.
When the loud outer noises of my
surroundings and the loud inner noises of my
fears keep pulling me away from you, help me
to trust that you are still there even when I am
unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to
your small, soft voice saying: “Come to me,
you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest ….. for I am gentle and humble of
heart.” Let that loving voice be my guide.
Amen.
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
- Matthew 11: 29
Reflection Question: How do I respond when I cannot hear God—do I become anxious, discouraged, or trusting?
