It's just too noisy!

Silence

What a pile of noise!
Noise—Noise—Noise.
Noise in my head.
Noise in my ears.
Noise in my eyes.
Noise—Noise—Noise.

Are you crying out for silence?

Silence is a kind of 'property' of Being prior to Being. No wonder a civilization of noises (of all types) finds it difficult to discover the divine dimensions of reality. God cannot be experienced in words or even by thinking or doing, but just by silence, that is, by being, because Being is silent. "Be still and know that I am God." Only in stillness can we know God.  

Take some time, and focus on God. Quiet the noise all around you and remind yourself Whose you are. God is with you. He longs to spend time with you. He wants you to just "be". Be in His presence. Be in His care.  Be in the moment. Be aware of His work around you.
