Sunday Stillness – Solitude

Sunday Stillness – Solitude

Solitude

I love to meet God in the stillness of the morning. When I sit still – yes, still.

I didn’t used to be able to sit still. During the day I go, go and go some more. But I believe I have the energy to do that because I do sit still every morning – for prayer, study and just being with God.

The first time I tried to sit still I lasted five minutes. It’s amazing how one can learn the discipline of sitting still.

And solitude doesn’t bother me as much as it used to. I would always crave someone to talk to. I have that friend now, Jesus is His Name. No matter where I go, He is always there with me.

Therefore I am never alone in my solitude. (Tweet this)

Solitude and silence is an opportunity to focus on your Intimacy with Jesus, to unhook from your daily responsibilities and the people you interact with, in order to attend to the Lord alone (Soul Shepherding).

Be still and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10, NIV).

Today is Sunday Stillness.

Do you have a Scripture that spoke to you this week? Please link below. If you post to Twitter use #sundaystillness and @authorjaniscox.

Feel free to pin the picture. Follow me at AuthorJanisCox on Pinterest.

I would love it if you would subscribe to my blog. See the sidebar to enter your email address.

Read the Sunday Stillness rules if you are new here.

I would appreciate if you would link only about God’s Word. If you have a linky party that’s okay if it is about the same thing. Please no sales or prizes. I want this to be friendly but I must ask you to abide by the rules. Others want to read God’s Word – and that is what I would like the links to be about. I must take down the links that don’t follow the rules. Thanks so much.

  1. We need the moments alone with Him … To focus and listen … Just being … Our world and everyday life is often filled with decisions to make, to be on a go a whole day … We need His strength and wisdom. Wishing you a week filled with good moments, both in solitude and being social 🙂

  2. Our culture fights so hard against solitude and loneliness…both of which I think are good. We need them to find rest, quiet, and as you mentioned, God.
    Blessing to you this day, Janis!

I love to connect with you.
