Psalm 131:2 says, "My soul finds rest in God alone." Psalm 62:1 declares, "My soul waits in silence for God alone." Matthew 6:6 instructs us to "go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father." And in 1 Corinthians 2:2, Paul writes, "I decided that while I was with you, I would be of no concern to anyone, for I do not even know how to make use of my own life. By the strictness of the Jews I have put myself under great hardship so that I might join my fellow Jews in their shame and so that they may see their shame among Gentiles. So they may stop glorying in their shame. For I want to be all the more eager for you in every way: to possess a conscience that is unaccused and above reproach, but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining towards what lies ahead. I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

As we explore this concept, we'll look at three key aspects:

• Identifying the biblical concept of silence as a means to quiet the soul and focus on God
• Practicing a daily quiet time, dedicating at least 10 minutes to meditation and prayer
• Expressing gratitude to God in a written or spoken prayer, as seen in Matthew 6:6
