Silence in Prayer

When we pray, it is important that we try to be quiet some of the time. We, who are in the church world, seem to be fond of words--especially our own. In prayer it is important to confess and share what is on our minds, even though God probably already knows. It is also important that we give God an opportunity to share with us what is on God’s mind. Perhaps God has a matter which God thinks we and the Holy Spirit need to work on. Those matters are often an attitude, behavior, spirit, etc. which is in one of our blind spots and one which God seeks to redeem. In prayer it is important that we listen to hear what is on God's mind.
