The Still, Small Voice

 

Listening for that still, small voice,

Waiting so patiently.
I may not hear you right away,
But you will speak to me.
 
I’m learning how to still my thoughts
That I might hear your voice,
And I can’t do it easily.
I have to make that choice.
 
Yet when I set myself apart
And let my thoughts grow still,
I’ve always heard you answer me
And trust you always will.
 

1 Kings 19:11-13

And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks 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 still small voice.
