1. God Is Our Refuge

When life feels unsettled or noisy, God remains steady and present.
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46

Remember: We do not face uncertainty alone.

2. Noise Drowns Out What Matters

Our world is full of voices, opinions, and constant chatter.
More words do not always bring more wisdom.

Remember: Not all noise deserves our attention.

3. Listening Is a Spiritual Practice

Listening is not passive. It is an act of faith.
We cannot truly listen to one another if we are not first listening to God.

Remember: Listening is a habit of the heart.

4. Silence Makes Space for God

Silence helps us slow down and notice God’s presence.
In stillness, we learn to hear the still, small voice of God.

Remember: Silence is not empty. It is full of God.

5. Begin with a Simple Prayer

We do not need fancy words to listen well.
“Lord, speak, for your servant is listening.”

Remember: God is already speaking. We are invited to listen.

6. When We Truly Hear, Our Words Give Life

Listening changes how we speak and how we live.
Our words can move from spiritual chatter to words that bring hope and life.

Remember: Listening leads to love.

A Simple Practice for the Week

Take two or three minutes each day to be still.
No agenda. No rushing. Just listening.

Be still. Listen. Trust that God is near.
