Silence in Christian spirituality is more than the absence of noise. It's a practice of quieting the mind and soul to become more aware of God's presence. This intentional silence allows for deeper contemplation and a more profound connection with God.

Use a timer to avoid checking the clock.

If feelings and thoughts distract you, release them to Jesus.

Regular practice can deepen your experience of God's presence.

1. Find a Quiet Place: Choose a location where you won’t be disturbed. This could be a room in your home, a church, or a peaceful outdoor spot.

2. Set a Time: Decide how long you will sit in silence. Start with 5-10 minutes and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.

3. Posture: Sit comfortably with a straight back. Relax your body but remain alert.

4. Focus on Breathing: Take slow, deep breaths. Focus on your breathing to help center your mind.

5. Open to God's Presence: In the silence, open your heart and mind to God's presence. You might say a simple prayer like, "Here I am, Lord," and then rest in the silence.
