January Series Study Guide - Day 25

Solitude and Silence

Are you busy? Do you believe that hurrying will allow you more time. Do you pride yourself on how much you are able to accomplish? Busyness directly affects our ability to focus, to hear from the Holy Spirit and to love others. In order to slow down, we need to consider incorporating solitude and silence into our schedules. Solitude is being by yourself, away from things going on. That means giving up contact with others. Silence is removing audible distractions while solitude requires removing and minimizing visual distractions.

Read Luke 5:15-16 & Mark 1:32-39
