“He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a sound of sheer silence.”
–1 Kings 19:11-12 (NRSVue)

Find a place where you can experience silence, perhaps in an isolated corner of your home, or in a place like a library, or outdoors in a park away from the noise of traffic or other intrusions. In that silence, seek the presence of God.
