Biblical Answer

The Problem of a Barren Life

Many people struggle with finding peace and quiet in their lives. They may feel like their life is completely barren and devoid of peace. This can be a sign that they are not right with God, and are not exhibiting the freedom to turn their mind to Him. According to the text, "If you are than I could handle...the Lord spoke to my heart about our mind is a hopeless distraction."

The Distraction of the World

The world can be a major distraction, making it difficult to find peace and quiet. As the text states, "No noise is so emphatic as one you are trying not to listen to." This suggests that the noise and chaos of the world can be overwhelming, making it hard to focus on God. Additionally, the text notes that "darkness is the time to listen," implying that we should be quiet and still, rather than trying to talk or read about our problems.

Finding Peace in the Quiet

So, how can we find peace and quiet in our lives? The text suggests that we need to find a way of being with God that is conducive to our personalities and stages of life. This may involve being still and quiet, listening to God, and seeking guidance from Him. As the text states, "once we are rested, the quiet is where we go to find God." This implies that peace and quiet are not just the absence of noise, but a state of being that allows us to connect with God. By seeking peace and quiet in this way, we can find fulfillment and a deeper relationship with God.
