We search endlessly
for what God has given freely
running ourselves ragged in the process.
We have forgotten that
Elijah couldn't hear God
till he stopped running
and listened to the quiet
that even Jesus walked
out into the quiet to speak to His Father.
How can we expect to hear
His voice in our troubles
when we haven't memorized how it sounds.
All day we pray, search, and reach
for God's presence
forgetting to sit still and listen
for His voice in the silence
