Today we are going to talk about quieting—the practice of purposefully lowering our energy levels so we can calm and be still. This can take many forms. It can be as simple as relaxing our bodies and being still before the Lord—waiting on him in peace. It can be a pause after a high energy activity or conversation. Our pause can be less than a minute or several days as we move into the practice of solitude. It is a huge subject that I will only touch on here. The best way to learn the value of quieting is to experience it.
