Psalm 46:10 says “Be still and know that I am God.” Before I can know that God is our heavenly Father, I must be still must hush and quiet my brain. Sometimes that’s hard for me, because although I’m silent, my brain jumps from thought to thought, or I get lost in my own head.
However, to Know God is to listen to his still small voice. Sometimes, for me to be at one with the path of silence, I must go outside and sit in my swing, and be still. Although I nearly fall asleep, I can hear snippets of conversation from my characters, or from a thought that isn’t naturally mine. In these semiconscious moments, I receive divine downloads that truly enhance my writing.
The path of silence is the first path in our prayer labyrinth journal. I’m journaling through The Third Path by Eva Marie Everson, and I will share my thoughts as God directs me to do on my blog.
It’s your turn. In the comments below, share your answer to the question of the day. What does your path of silence look like? How do you connect on a deeper level with God as you mentally walk this path, or as you walk this path on a physical prayer labyrinth? If you don’t feel comfortable leaving your answers in the comments, or if you wish to explore these questions in your own journal, post your answers on your own blog or website and tag this post, so I can see your posts and share them on my social media.
