A quiet time takes faith. To stop all other activities to sit down and have a conversation with an invisible person requires faith.
Is he really real? Does he really speak? Does he really speak to you? When you speak to him does he really hear you? Would he really respond to something you say?
That you can quiet all other noises for the purpose of interacting with this invisible person says something of your faith. Quieting noises to read a book doesn't require much faith. But looking to commune with your invisible friend does indeed.
Be encouraged when you enter into a time of stillness with God. Faith got you there. Act on it. And receive the rewards of that.
"whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." bible.us/Heb11.6.ESV

ahhh. it is so simple yet so difficult isn't it? love knowing we are struggling in community no matter how far apart we may be!
That's so true. Sometimes it's hard for me to focus in unless I speak aloud. Not always possible but it adds an element of weight or realness that I don't get when silently talking. If you can silently talk-ha! :)
ps) write more please.
Yes, it has to be so intentional. I have to remind myself that I'm talking to someone who is listening.
