“Learning to be quiet before the Lord is one of the greatest challenges we face today in our quest to enter in and experience true intimacy with Him.” – James Goll

This is why I’ve grown to love solo getaways since I took my first one in December.

I’m learning that if I truly want to experience deep intimacy with God, I have to learn to quiet the clatter and enter His stillness.

Take out time to read through and meditate on His word, a book, spend time in worship and praise as His Spirit leads and just being quiet – letting not only my body but my mind sit still.

Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. – Psalm 62:1

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. – Psalm 5:3

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. – Psalm 130:5

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. – Exodus 14:14
