Such a popular passage, it\u2019s easy enough to take for granted.

You\u2019ve got to get quiet to listen to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There it is. We\u2019ve got to get quiet to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-women\/devotions-for-faith-prayer-devotions-for-women\/listen-to-what-jesus-is-saying-to-you\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">listen to God.<\/a> And that\u2019s a precious practice I make every day. Here are some simple steps as you, too, get still and know that God is God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take time out of your day, every day.<\/strong> If it was hard in biblical times to get quiet and listen to God, think how much harder it is these days. We\u2019ve got emails screaming at us, not to mention our phones buzzing in our pockets. Whenever I stand waiting for the subway, I notice how nobody is looking around. Everybody\u2019s staring at their phones. And I\u2019m just as guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Give yourself <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/power-of-prayer\/a-10-word-prayer-to-help-in-times-of-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some time <em>every day<\/em> <\/a>where you\u2019re not going to pay any attention to those texts or emails. Be quiet. Sit still to listen to God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I said, \u201cevery day.\u201d <\/strong>You want to make it a habit\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/living-longer-living-better\/4-habits-for-a-healthy-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a good habit<\/a>\u2014and habits are things you do every day. I stay connected to my wife by making sure we have time together, listening to her. If we get too distracted, we lose touch. We use that phrase \u201ca comfortable silence\u201d in a marriage. Why not seek it with the Lord?<\/p>\n<p>Find a time for being still. Stick with it and discover the joy it will bring.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Make a place for it. <\/strong>My time of stillness is first thing in the morning. I go into what we still call the TV room (although that old TV disappeared years ago) and sit on the lumpy sofa, closing my eyes. Twenty minutes is okay. Half an hour is better.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/where-to-pray-favorite-prayer-spots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A regular place<\/a> helps you get connected to God in the silence. A chair, a corner of your room, sitting up in your bed. That familiar place\u2014at that special time \u2014will remind you: \u201cI\u2019m here getting silent, listening to the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you quiet the noise inside your head?<\/strong> It\u2019s noisy outside. It can even be <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/6-ways-to-get-quiet-and-pray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noisier in our heads.<\/a> I\u2019ll start thinking of checks I need to write, meetings to attend, emails to send. \u201cWait, wait, didn\u2019t I want to get silent with God?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n<p>As great spiritual masters have taught us, notice the thought. Then let it go. <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/why-its-important-to-pray-before-you-sleep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catch and release.<\/a> All those worries and concerns you\u2019re releasing back to God. They\u2019re in good hands. That\u2019s what the stillness has let you do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use a holy word.<\/strong> Take a word, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/power-of-prayer\/one-powerful-word-to-pray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a single word<\/a> and use it to pull you back from distracting thoughts. As the anonymous writer of the 14th-century text <em>The Cloud of Unknowing<\/em> suggests, a single syllable word can work best, like \u201cGod,\u201d \u201cpeace,\u201d \u201clove.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Every morning in this time of stillness, in the midst of anxieties and worries, stillness comes to me. Even if it\u2019s just a moment, that moment is precious. Soon enough I\u2019ll get up from the sofa and face the day. But I won\u2019t do it alone.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t think you have enough time? Think again. Being still helps you prioritize what\u2019s most important. God gives you the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBe still and know that I am God,\u201d Psalm 46:10.
