Sitting in the cool morning air, we were poised for prayer, yet no words came. In typical fashion our prayers are wordy, bathed in amens and yes Lords, but not today. Today quiet filled our prayers. Not awkward quiet. Peaceful, calm, gentle quiet. The kind of quiet that invites harmony, serenity, and tranquility. As the birds sang soft, and the breeze bristled through the trees, they swayed gently in rhythmic song.

But words did not pour forth. Words seemed difficult today. Only the quiet seemed easy, natural, fitting. Yet I felt compelled to find words to fill the quiet, when simply sitting in the hush would have been more than enough to satisfy my soul?

But why?

Prayer doesn’t require words. Prayer only requires a heart focused on God. But rather than receiving the gift of quiet, I recoiled. I did not allow the gift to tarry. I did not enjoy the quiet solitude of the Lord’s presence, the lingering of my soul intertwined with His essence. I forced the words, broke the silence, and missed the blessing.
