Be Still My Soul

One of my favorite songs is "Be still my soul." We sometimes get so wrapped up in our prayer time talking to God, asking for things, praying for other, seeking His will, that we forget to just stop and listen. How can we hear if we are doing all the talking? I had a new friend ask what do we do to be still. I told her that we have to clear our minds of everything, not say a word, and be silent and wait for God's voice. It doesn't always come right away, but if we wait patiently you will begin to feel the Holy Spirit moving within you. It is an awesome and powerful thing, but we can't do it without sometimes being still. Sort of a type of meditation, only in the Bibical sense. Have you felt God's refreshing springs lately? Have you sat quietly and let the Lord move in your heart and mind? Try it sometime. You will be suprise at the wonderful, joyful, feeling. He will show you many things this way.
