Quiet Please!

Matthew 6:6  "Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.


Quiet time, alone with God is important for us all in recovery. As we get further and further away from our last drink or drug we need to fill the void left. It is through quiet times of prayer and meditation we learn more of His will for us, get to know Him better through personal communication and become stronger to do the things He has in store for us.


In quiet  time we can hear Him speak. When we just look for God in the big things we can sometimes miss Him. Because he is often found whispering in the quietness of a humble heart. We must all take time to step back from the business of life and and listen humbly for His guidance.

In quiet time we can recognise His Majesty. God's final victory is inevitable. At that time we will all stand quietly before Him. How important it is now then for us to be still and honour His Majesty. We need to take time each day to exalt God.

Practice Step 11 daily, it is your way to know Him better each day.
