Silent Prayer | Summer Devo Series #5

A women, deep in prayer, holding her bible

Often, the most impactful prayers can be found in a room where you can hear a pin drop. Why? When we sit before the Lord there is a reverential awe and wonder, a Holy fear of the Lord that comes when His presence is upon us.


Even heaven will be silent before Jesus. “When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.” Revelation 8:1


When coming before the Lord in prayer it’s wonderful to be still. I heard once, “You’re praying when you forget you’re praying.” In the stillness, I’ll often ask the Holy Spirit to take over my mind, and my imagination. My goal is to see Jesus. I don’t just want head knowledge of Jesus, I want my heart to know all of Him. While we hold our tongue outwardly, inwardly there is a meditation of the heart that beautifully ushers in His presence. This satisfaction, this fellowship is not for a select few. It’s the children’s bread. It’s the way of life for those who believe in Jesus.


He fills the hungry. If you want a deeper hunger for God, simply ask for it. Dependency and neediness before the Lord is the posture of a Christian. We are not independent. We’re fully and radically dependent on Jesus. He has everything you need. Allow Him to show you the easy and light burden of prayer. Time in His presence doesn’t negate the cares of life, it overcomes them.


One of my favorite songs says…


“O soul are you weary and troubled

No light in the darkness you see

There's light for a look at the Savior

And life more abundant and free

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in his wonderful face

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of his glory and grace

His word shall not fail you he promised

Believe him and all will be well

Then go to a world that is dying

His perfect salvation to tell”


Are you weary? Are you tired? Come to the Lamb. He will lead you beside still waters, He will quiet your soul.
