On Silence

If I could prescribe just one remedy for all the ills of the modern world, I would prescribe silence. For even if the word of God were proclaimed in the modern world no one would hear it; there is too much noise. Therefore, create silence. - Kierkegaard

This is what I crave today. Silence. I crave exterior silence around me. I want the noise and demands and chaos to stop and let me go. More than that, I crave interior silence; for the static in my head to cease and be still so that I can hear the voice of the Word of God.

Jesus, you are the one who calmed the storm. You said "'Peace! Be still!'  And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."(Mark 4:39, ESV)  Speak calm into the rough seas of my heart so that I can be filled with you instead.
