Silence is a safe place

A woman of few words I have never been, but most recent events in my life have made silence a safe place for me; one of peace at times, a place of refuge at others. This morning I was having one of my frequent conversations with God asking him to teach me how to pray. This has been an ongoing conversation between the two of us since my mind runs a million miles a minute rarely pausing for breaks not even when it should be at rest. I start my prayer with Thank you Lord as I do each day and then I go from prayer to my one sided dialogue because I need help learning to pray, but on this day my rambling ran short and I was left with just my silence. In that moment I found myself basking in his glory realizing his answer came through the silence. That I don't have to always pray with multiple words, because he already knows everything about me with an added bonus of knowing that he also already has it all figured out. So I can take peace in my lack of words and this time silence is really okay!!!
