When our souls stir our eyes to notice specific notes of God’s creation, peace floods our hearts. But take heart! I have overcome the world” ( John 16:33).ĭisconnecting from the world’s view is important if we want to be able to see the world from the vantage point of the One who created it. “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth’” ( Psalm 46:10).

Prayer and worship can make noise and yet still quiet our souls.
Quiet moments allow us to connect with God deeply, personally, and profoundly. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me” ( John 17: 20-23). I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be brought to complete unity. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one’” ( Matthew 6:9-13).
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Whether we are up at dawn before the sun in a still house to pray and seek God, or worshiping Him quietly in our hearts as we cut across the water at sunset, our relationship with our heavenly Father is developed just as richly in the quiet as in the hallmark, highlight reel.Ĭhrist Jesus not only taught His disciples to pray by example, but gave them a model of prayer to root those quiet moments in: The intimate connection through prayer and worship to our Father is incredibly powerful. Jesus knew, in order to execute His Father’s will on earth, He would need to be fueled by the power of prayer. “Very early in the morning, while it was dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed” ( Mark 1:35). Jesus set the tone of how we are to seek our Father. In the middle of chaos, quiet moments of prayer are incredibly powerful. It isn’t just in the still peaceful morning prayer.
#QUIET MOMENTS QUOTES FULL#
Those are a handful in a sea full of prayers to the Lord. Hannah prayed, “There is no Rock like our God” ( 1 Samuel 2:1-10). Solomon prayed for wisdom ( 1 Kings 3:7-9).
David prayed in the cave hiding from a crazed King Saul. Jonah cried out to the Lord from inside the belly of a fish! ( Jonah 2:1-9). Scattered along the pages of Scripture, quiet instances of prayer preface big miracle moments.
