5 Steps to find Silence

1. Start Your Morning Without a Screen

Before checking your phone, turning on music, or opening your laptop, sit in silence for five minutes. Breathe deeply. Acknowledge God’s presence. Let this quiet moment set the tone for your day.

Try this: Keep your phone in another room overnight. Place a Bible and journal by your bed instead.

2. Create a Simple “Quiet Space”

Designate a spot in your home, even just a chair or corner, as your place for solitude. Keep it free from distractions. Let it become a retreat where you meet with God.

Try this: Add a candle, Bible, or blanket to make it inviting. Go there daily—even for a few minutes.

3. Replace One Commute or Walk with Silence

If you usually listen to music or podcasts while driving or walking, choose one time today to turn it off. Let silence fill the space and invite God into your thoughts.

Try this: Use that time to pray, reflect, or simply be present with God.

4. Take a “Quiet Break” Midday

Schedule a 10-minute pause in your day—no talking, no phone, no multitasking. Step outside or close your office door. Let your body and soul reset in the stillness.

Try this: Set a recurring daily reminder on your calendar or phone.

5. End Your Day with Reflection, Not Noise

Instead of falling asleep to TV or scrolling, spend your final moments in quiet. Reflect on your day, give thanks, and ask God to speak into your heart.

Try this: Write down one moment from your day when you sensed God’s presence—or wished you had.

Even small steps toward silence can lead to a deeper, more grounded prayer life. Stillness is not about doing less—it’s about making space for what matters most.
