You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me.
Psalm 119: 114, The Message
"Silence in prayer is not the absence of sound that occurs when we run out of things to say. It is not the embarrassing speechlessness that results from shyness. It is something positive, something fertile. It is being more interested in what God will say to me than in getting out my speech to him. It is a preference for hearing God's word over saying my word. ...
Talk in prayer is essential but it is also partial. Silence is essential."
