"be Still And Know"

"BE STILL AND KNOW"
A.W. Tozer

Prayer among evangelical Christians is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified "gold rush." Almost every book on prayer deals with the "get" element mainly. How to get things we want from God occupies most of our space. Christians should never forget that the highest kind of prayer is never the making of requests. Prayer at its holiest moment is the entering into God to a place of such blessed union as makes miracles seem tame and remarkable answers to prayer appear something very far short of wonderful, by comparison.

We should be aware that there is a kind of school where the soul must go to learn its best eternal lessons. It is the school of silence. "Be still and know," said the psalmist. It might well be a revelation to some Christians if they were to get completely quiet for a time-a time to listen in the silence for the deep voice of the Eternal God!

Thank you for the above post...
"Be still and know...." I must admit this is not easy but His grace is always sufficient. There is power in being still and that's where we do miss, we might be busy with our day to day life and miss this...In stillness that's where our strength come from, deliverance, restoration, wisdom, leading and prayer answered. "Be still and know that am God"
